Clear your end-of-summer calendar for two nights of music, beer, and water conservancy, because Great Lakes Brewing Co. is proud to announce the 17th annual Great Lakes Burning River Fest August 17 and 18 at the historic Coast Guard Station on Whiskey Island.

Illuminated by the downtown skyline, the Great Lakes Burning River Fest returns to Cleveland’s waterfront with three stages of music, scenic views, and refreshing brews. Piano-thumping rockers Low Cut Connie tops the bill Saturday with their explosive live act, while The Speedbumps, an award-winning American band with a warm, authentic indie-rock sound, headline Friday night. 14 genre-spanning acts ready to light up the Lake Erie shoreline will join them on two stages, while DJ Red-I and Candi Fresca curate the Burning River Fest Silent Disco inside the PNC Boathouse.​

A diverse mix of food vendors will dish out the goods, and since beer and music go hand in hand, Great Lakes Brewing Co. will pour fresh, award-winning brews Burning River Pale Ale, Oktoberfest, Commodore Perry IPA, Turntable Pils, and Rally Drum Red Ale all weekend long.
