The 15th Annual Macon Beer Fest will return to Downtown Macon on Saturday, October 11th, from 2 to 7 p.m. This year's event will feature  100 varieties of craft beer and wine along with live music, arts and craft vendors, and food vendors, according to the festival's event post on Facebook.

Bands performing at this year's event will include The Downstairs, Erica Carr, and Tier Blue on the Main Stage, with Fresh Produce DJ performing in the VIP area.

The first Macon Beer Fest took place in 2010 and was organized by the Rotary Club of Downtown Macon as a way to support "Pints for Prostates." Pints for Prostate is a grassroots campaign whose goal is to educate men about prostate cancer and the need for screening.

There are a variety of unique events that take place at the festival, including a costume contest, a Super Hero Dash for Dad, a Beer Obstacle Course, and a Significant Other Calling Contest, which are all free to take part in with an online reservation.

Other events include the Friday Night Rock & Roll Pub Crawls at 6 and 6:45 p.m., and Beer Runs for both single runners and teams of 4 runners.
