8th Annual Livermore Valley Craft Beer Festival To Benefit the Las Positas College Fire Service Technology Program
The countdown begins for the highly anticipated 8th Annual Livermore Valley Craft Beer Festival, returning on May 11th, 2024, from 1-5 p.m. This year's festival promises to be bigger and better than ever, taking place for the second consecutive year at the athletic field of Las Positas College, the proud home of the LPC Fire Service Technology program.
Following the success of last year's event, which generated a generous $20,000 donation to the fire program and supported the scholarship fund for future firefighters, anticipation is high to surpass previous fundraising goals and make an even greater impact in 2024!
Craft beer enthusiasts can expect an extraordinary lineup of over 40 NorCal breweries showcasing their finest brews alongside local favorite food vendors. The festival will also feature live performances by four bands, games, plenty of shaded areas, and captivating demonstrations by our firefighting students. Attendees can soak in the breathtaking view of the picturesque Livermore Valley while enjoying their favorite brews.
Jon Sylvester, Executive Director of the Livermore Valley Craft Beer Foundation, expressed his excitement for this year's festival, stating, "We are thrilled to return for the 8th year of the Livermore Valley Craft Beer Festival, and we're grateful for the continued support from Las Positas College and the community. With an expanded lineup of breweries, live entertainment, and engaging activities, we're confident that this year's festival will be the best one yet."
George Freelen, LPC Fire Academy Instructor/Coordinator, highlighted the festival's significance in supporting the Fire Service Technology program. "Last year's generous donation from the Livermore Valley Craft Beer Festival was a game-changer for our Fire Service Technology program at Las Positas College. With the support of our community, we've been able to enhance our training facilities, provide crucial resources for our students, and continue our mission of preparing the next generation of firefighters. We are deeply grateful for the ongoing partnership and look forward to the positive impact this year's festival will bring to our program and students."
