Raise a toast to summer at Burning River Fest

Raise a toast to another great summer in Cleveland at the annual Burning River Fest, Aug. 28 and Aug. 29 at the historic Coast Guard Station on Whiskey Island.
Burning River Fest uses the Cleveland skyline and Lake Erie as the backdrop for two stages of live music, chef demos, food vendors and plenty of Great Lakes Brewing Company (GLBC) beer.
This year's live music on both the main stage and acoustic stage includes These Knees, By Light We Loom, Cities & Coasts, Drunken Sunday and Brian Johnson, finalist from NBC's "The Voice."
Burning River Fest has teamed up with Edible Cleveland magazine to host chef demos each night in the rarely seen boathouse of the Coast Guard Station. Chefs will represent El Carnicero restaurant, Sterle's, Anna in the Raw and Great Lakes Brewing Company. Food will be available from vendors that source their ingredients locally. They include Umami Bites, Sauced Wood Fired Pizza, Mitchell's Ice Cream and The Beachcomber Truck. If you are thirsty, you can wash that food down with GLBC Oktoberfest, Burning River Pale Ale and the brand new Steady Rollin' Session IPA.
All proceeds from Burning River Fest go towards restoring the historic Coast Guard Station. What better way to save this architectural gem of Cleveland than by throwing a party there?
Pre-sale tickets are $15. Visit www.greatlakesbrewing.com. The festival runs from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. nightly. All pre-sale ticket holders are invited to join an all-levels yoga flow from Balance & Brews before the start of Burning River Fest each day.
Burning River Fest is sponsored by Alliance for the Great Lakes, the largest organization dedicated solely to protecting and restoring the Great Lakes. The Alliance works hand-in-hand with tens of thousands of volunteers, advocates and supporters around the region to pursue protective policies, advance on-the-ground action and educate our communities.
