The Downtown Newark Partnership and Out & About Magazine will host the Downtown Newark Food and Brew Festival. The 13th Annual festival will take place on Saturday, July 23, from 2-9 p.m. on  East Main Street and  South Main Street, formerly Elkton Road.

“The Newark Food & Brew has become a rite of summer,” said Jerry duPhily, publisher of Out & About Magazine. “When we partnered with the City of Newark to create this event 13 years ago, craft-beer focused events were a novelty. Today, they’re commonplace. But the beauty of this event is that it encourages guests to explore Newark and actually visit the many participating restaurants. It’s an ideal showcase for the city’s dining scene.”

Food and Brew showcases more than 40 craft and imported beers paired with food offerings from 18 of Newark’s restaurants. Unlike most beer festivals, this is a pay-as-you-go event that takes place in the restaurants.

“Food and Brew is much different than just a regular Saturday at any of the participating restaurants,” said community affairs officer Megan McNerney. “The restaurants are pairing specialty plates with the beers to give customers a unique experience.”

Keeping with tradition Out & About will offer guests free samples of root beer at their station on the Academy Lawn.

2:30 – 4 p.m., Jason Ager

7:30 – 9 p.m., TreeWalker
