Breweries, distilleries and artisanal food providers from across NZ will be in Hawke's Bay on Saturday for the Hawke's Bay Craft Beer & Food Festival.
The festival is part of Hawke's Bay Tourism's annual Food and Wine Classic (F.A.W.C!), and will take over the lush surrounds of Napier's Tremain Field, creating a celebration of deliciousness by pairing Kiwi and locally produced craft beer, wine, spirits and food with some of New Zealand's top live entertainment.
Gates open at 1pm, with a top lineup of performances including the amazing singer- songwriter, comedian, television presenter and all-round NZ hall of famer Anika Moa, funk and soul outfit Sola Rosa, and local singer-songwriter Scarlett Eden, with further support performances from Miakie and Tucker Lane.
Led by brewery partners Behemoth and Emerson's, the world-class festival will have an atmosphere that's suitable for the whole family.
Festival director Jason Schroeder says they have the proven formula for creating an occasion that encourages fun and discovery.
