Location: Del Mar Arena
Parking: $9.00 on site; free off site \rProfessional brewers from around the country will compete this year in the 2nd Annual Craft Brewers Competition & Festival Saturday, June 21. The festival, open to the public, will be from noon to 8:00PM. Fair visitors can taste these award-winning beers, and find out the winners of the judging (which takes place in May). The festival also will include a Bratwurst Competition, the Fair's traditional Bluegrass Day (which begins at 10:00AM) and the first day of the America's Strongest Man competition (which begins at 3:00PM).The Bluegrass Day, performed by members of the San Diego Bluegrass Society, will feature several performances by local bluegrass bands throughout the day. In the middle of the performances is a “band scramble," where all the players put their names in a hat (by instrument) and bands are chosen. They each have 15 minutes to put together three songs and then they compete for prizes and ribbons.Please see the Arena listing for June 22 for information on the America's Strongest Man 2008 competition.Beer lovers will be able to purchase a souvenir tasting cup and a wristband for $15.00 that allows for five beer or bratwurst samplings; available the day of the event. A wristband voucher and Fair admission package bought in advance is $25.00, a 10 percent savings over the day-of cost. You can buy this package at the Durante Gate Box Office, open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00AM to 6:00PM, or online through Ticketmaster.More information on the Craft Brewers Festival
