Grab your big hats and floral attire, it’s time for a bar crawl.

The third annual Sunnyland Garden Party is on Thursday, April 13, through Sunday, April 16, with seven local breweries participating.

“The ‘Garden Party’ is a pub-crawl style event where you can try new beer releases from each brewery, enjoy fun food specials, dress up in fancy and fun garden party attire, enter in the photo contest, and enter in a chance to win swag packages when you collect stamps on the Garden Party punch card,” according to a news release from Karolina Lobrow, owner and manager of Otherlands Beer.

Seven breweries in the Sunnyland neighborhood are participating, including both Kulshan Brewing Company’s locations, Twin Sisters Brewing Company, Wander Brewing, Stemma Brewing Co., Otherlands Beer, El Suenito Brewing and The North Fork Brewery barrel house.

Those wanting to participate can visit any of the breweries throughout the weekend to receive a stamp on their punch card, and turn in the card at their last brewery to be entered into a raffle for prizes.

“Garden party attire is strongly encouraged, floral patterns, springy, weird, quirky attire! Big hats, overalls or anything you would wear gardening works too,” the event’s Facebook page states.
