(Canton, MI – August 29, 2023) Since 2010 Brews, Brats and Bands has been a popular Canton tradition. On Saturday, September 23, 2023, from 6-9 p.m. craft beer lovers and the 21 and over crowd are invited to attend the Canton’s Annual Brews, Brats, and Bands, located in Preservation Park at 500 N. Ridge Road in Canton, MI. 

Preparations are well underway for this special event, which will be hosted and revamped by Canton Leisure Services and the Village Arts Factory. Sponsors of this popular event include: Schoolcraft College, Maraschinos Pub, and Beerfests.com.

“Metro Detroit’s growing craft beer culture can taste and appreciate over 50 specialty beers, ciders, and seltzers in one location,” said Kevin Ryan, Village Arts Factory Program Director. “Any event involving drinking craft beers, eating brats, and listening to music with friends and family is bound to be a good time. Plus, proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the Village Arts Factory, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Canton, MI that serves as a nexus for the arts, culture, music, and community engagement, as well as the Canton Cares Fund, which supports the Canton community by providing financial assistance to disaster relief, therapeutic recreation, youth and senior programs.”

Admission includes seven tasting tokens each good for beer, cider, or seltzer tasting samples, as well as two grilled brats of your choice (vegetarian option available), a snack from the pretzel necklace-making station, water, chili cook-off tastings, and a commemorative mug! The tasty brats will be provided by Maraschinos Pub. Plus, musical entertainment will be performed throughout the evening by Standing Room Only.
