Enjoy unlimited beer samples from local breweries along with live music and food trucks in our scenic Henderson Meadow!

Our 2nd annual 'Hops & Herons' beer festival is going to be even bigger and better than last year! We'll have MORE breweries, MORE food options, and MORE fun. Come experience a beer festival in a location like no other, inside our Nature Preserve on a hilltop meadow, shaded by giant oak trees!

Enjoy unlimited samples from over 10 great Greenville breweries, while listening to LIVE music from The Well Drinkers. Food will be available for purchase from food trucks (Tacos and Bla, bla, bla, Local Pie Pizza Co., and One Love Fusion Foods) onsite.

This event is family friendly and fun outdoor activities will be provided for all ages! Kids will be entertained by face painters, a corn pit, giant bubbles and other games. 

Grownups can enjoy drinks from Eighth State Brewing, Tetrad Brewing Company, Birds Fly South, Carolina Bauernhaus, Liability Brewing, Brewery 85, Think Tank Brew Lab, Voodoo Brewery, Double Stamp Brewery, 13 Stripes Brewery, Grateful Brew, and more to come...

Event Address and Parking - (there are 3 options for parking!)
Hops and Herons will take place in Henderson Meadow (#6 on our Map!). Please see below for more details.

OPTION 1 - Purchase a VIP parking pass for $10 - SOLD OUT as of 9/2
This will allow you to park at the base of Henderson meadow or in the lot at 601 Fork Shoals Rd, Greenville. Parking here is LIMITED, so you must purchase a pass to utilize these spots. These parking areas are a VERY short walk to the event in Henderson Meadow. 

OPTION 2 - Take the short walk in on our trails (less than 1 mile) OR ride our shuttles
The week prior to the event, we will assign general event attendees to one of several of the Preserve's nearby parking areas. From these areas, you can choose to walk to Henderson Meadow through the Preserve (under 1 mile - and there may be a walking beer in it for you!) OR you can wait to be shuttled by golf cart. 

OPTION 3 - Use Uber/Lyft/or other rideshare service
There will be a designated drop-off and pick-up spot at 601 Fork Shoals Rd, Greenville. The event is a very short walk up the trail from here.
