Beer from Second Street Brewery, and lots of fun for the whole family. Festivities run from Noon to Dusk.

Gates open at 11:00 a.m. at the Oscar Huber Memorial Ballpark at the north end of town. Park in the main lot just north of the ballpark. No glass please. Coolers and wine (in bag that's fine), leashed dogs we don't mind, kites and balls all the time, let the good times soar &roll, let the clouds pass over slow, sing and dance to the hummable trance and the mystery we all share.

A dance party at the Mine Shaft Tavern follows the Festival. A fundraiser for Madrid's playground at the ballpark, the Madrid Cultural Projects and the children in all of us.
