FriendFestEvents: Friend Fest


Friend Fest is similar to any beer or wine festival. Many local breweries and wineries mainly in Pennsylvania will showcase their products to hundreds of residents, visitors, and community members participating. Guests must be 21 and above. Guests will have a wristband only if they are 21 and have purchased a ticket. All proceeds go to ending poverty in rural Northeastern Berks County.
