Bring your friends and family to enjoy dinner from the food trucks and drinks at our Phoestivus beer garden, sponsored by Phoenix’s own Phoenix Ale Brewery.
Ken Clark, Phoestivus Market Founder says: “We have always believed that this time of the year calls for an open air festival, which supports local business and that everybody can enjoy. We are honored to have a seasonal brew from Phoenix Ale Brewery named after our event. Eat your heart out, Adolph Coors!”
