Lake City to host craft beer, wine festival  

The Lake City–Columbia County Chamber of Commerce will host the annual Gateway City Craft Beer & Wine Festival on Oct. 22 at Darby Pavillion.  

Besides the beer and wine, the event will feature food trucks and live music. Both general admission and early admission tickets from $30 for general admission and $50 for VIP admission. Tickets are available online at gatewaybeerfest.com.  

“With over 600 ticket holders and thousands in attendance, we had a record-breaking year in 2021,” Joey O’Hern, executive director of the chamber of commerce, said in a press release. “We look to build on that as we continue to present the premier beer and wine festival in our area. We’ve got great things in store and look forward to producing a fantastic event for the local community.” 

Local musical artists will include Seth Dukes, Branford HWY and Black River Harvesters.  

“One of the best parts of the beer and wine festival is the unbelievable music that plays from start to finish,” O’Hern said. “We’re incredibly lucky to have such talented local artists performing throughout the event. Enjoying the music doesn’t require festival admission so we encourage anyone to come out and take part.”
