Who benefits form the Festival of Beers?
Thanks to the wonderful sponsors and patrons of this Festival of Beers (also known as Bakersfield Beerfest), the Active 20-30 Club has been able to
make a difference in thousands of children’s lives throughout the years. Since the events conception
back in 1992 we have grown the festival from a small 200 person beer tasting to the large scale 4,000+
attendees that you see today. Thanks to the events growth and the generosity of the Bakersfield community
we are now able to donate between $60,000 and $80,000 each year to various children’s charities in Kern County.
