The Las Cruces Beer Fest, the annual beer sampling festival and outdoor party, will be held once again at Plaza de Las Cruces downtown.
Although one must be at least 21 years old to sample beer, the event will have attractions and activities for all ages, according to a news release.
From 6 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., according to Facebook and EventBrite announcements online, ticket holders will be welcome to roam the plaza and explore food trucks, lawn games and other activities, peruse a marketplace with independent vendors and enjoy live music.
Organizers said more than 100 selections of local, regional and craft beer will be on hand for tasting. Rad Retrocade hosts the main bar as well as beer sampling, organizers said.
Although tickets will be available at the gate, organizers recommended purchasing tickets in advance online, as day-of tickets will be available as capacity permits. Admission fees ranged from $20 for minors to $45 or $80 for different packages and perks. Children under 12 will be admitted for free accompanied by parents or legal guardians. Ticketing information is available online at LCBeerFest.Eventbrite.com.
Organizers said local food vendors will compete for “Bites and Brews” awards, while entertainment will be provided by DJs. The Yarbrough Band is also slated to play live country music.
Plaza de Las Cruces is located at 100 N. Main St. downtown.
