Lowcountry beer lovers will have to wait another year to celebrate the Charleston Beer Fest (CBF). The festival organizers, Palmetto Community Care, have decided to postpone the festival until 2022 due to the recent surge in COVID cases in the Lowcountry. The event was also postponed last year.
“As a nonprofit organization focused on public health in our community, we cannot in good conscience hold this festival amidst the historic surge in COVID cases that are once again pushing the limits of our healthcare system,” said Bradley Childs, Executive Director of Palmetto Community Care. “We understand the extra effort that goes into preparing for this festival, and we wanted to make all of our partners and ticket holders aware of this change as soon as this decision was made.”
All ticket holders will be notified via email regarding an automatic refund of their purchase price in the coming days. In addition, ticket holders will receive information on how they can take advantage of discounted beers with partner brewers as a thank you for their support.
Next year's Charleston Beer Fest is scheduled to be held on October 22, 2022, at Riverfront Park in North Charleston.
