Strap in for the ride because Kennywood is officially in the beerfest game. And they aren’t messing around! Kennywood’s first beerfest, Brews in the Park, will be held on September 21st. And yes, you can ride some thrilling rides before it begins! Get there early because specific rides will be open from 1pm-3pm. After the ride session, you can enjoy all the brews you want.

Who doesn’t love free hot dogs?!
The beers will go down smooth as you reach new heights, with a wide variety of brews to choose from. There will be over 68 breweries and 100 different beers, including locals, domestics, imports, IPA’s, stouts, and ales. Some breweries participating include Austin EastCiders, Erie Brewing Company, Lancaster Brewing Company, North Country Brewing Co., Svedka Spiked Premium Seltzer, Truly, White Claw, and more! Yes, you don’t have to worry about the White Claw shortage at Kennywood!
Enjoy entertainment at every winding turn! Kennywood has packed the park with all kinds of music and entertainment throughout the day while you enjoy the drinks. Check out Walkin’ Rosie (Kennyville Stage), Totally 80’s (Garden Stage), DJ Larry and Karaoke (Kenny Fountain/Aero 360), Joe & Jackie the Polka Duo (Steelers Country), WSHH 99.7 (KiddieLand Entrance).
