Entertainment
Last year the Beer Garden was the funkiest party to hit the Church Street Village. This year will be no different! We are going to turn up the volume so you, your friends and family can dance the day away with our soulful street party.
We are pleased to announce a new line up of entertainment this year! So get your best R&B outfit ready so that you can move and groove to the funky beats of Divine Brown, Roger Mooking, Soular and DJ Sumation!
The Beer Garden will be located at the corner of Church & Wood in the IMPARK Parking Lot. It is where the walk begins and ends.
Stay tuned for more information and exciting news about other special guests!
