10 Reasons To Celebrate The 10th Annual MoTown Craft Beer Festival In Illinois

The MoTown Craft Beer Festival is back for its 10th anniversary.  Saturday, July 8th at Bass Street Landing in Moline.

Here are 10 reasons to check out and celebrate this decade-old event in the Quad Cities.

10 - Beer

Yeah this is the obvious one.  But still.  35+ breweries and 110 different styles of craft beer and mead for you to sample.

9 - Food

That's a lot of drink.  So have some food with it.  There will be many food vendors on site serving a variety of belly-filling, beer-soaking food.

8 - Live Music

You don't want to walk around trying all these beers and food in silence.  Karl Beatty will be on stage to serenade you as you stroll through beer town.

7 - Local Merch Tents

There will be local, key word there, merch tents for you to check out while sipping and enjoying the day.

6 - Sidewalk Chalk Art

Bass street landing has some great places for you to show off your creativity with free sidewalk chalk.  Or just play tic-tac-toe.

5 - Local

One reoccurring theme that is great with the MoTown Craft Beer Festival is that it's local.  Suppor those that live and work here to make it a better place.

4 - Support these Nonprofits

The MoTown Craft Beer Festival raises funds for The Children's Therapy Center of the Quad Cities, Mississippi Bend Trykes, The Chris VanSpeybroeck Memorial Scholarship, and the Peaceful Palate.

3 - It's outside

We only get so much time to enjoy the weather before...you know what.  Get out and enjoy it!

2 - Leave the kids at home

You love your kids.  But you also could use a break.  Get grandma, get a babysitter, take them to a playdate and go treat yourself to some adult time.

1 - Beer

I mean come on.   Of course, it's number one as well.  Over 100 beers to try within steps of each other.
