A month-long tournament of cups will culminate in a final showdown for area teams that will also serve as a huge fundraiser for a Decatur-area non-profit.

There are a lot of moving parts but the Decatur Area Arts Council is hosting its big 'Devon on Tap' Craft Beer and Music Festival from the Devon Ampitheater in Decatur this weekend. Executive Director Jerry Johnson says this stems from an event they did last year when COVID forced the cancellation of the festival.

This event is a partnership event with the Decatur Park District. Johnson says there will plenty of good libations and food. There is a VIP event Friday to kick things off for the weekend with rare access to unique beers not available in central Illinois.

The craft beer festival has been an event the Decatur Area Arts Council has hosted independently for about five years but Johnson indicates they were excited to be approached by the Decatur Park District to partner with them to move the event to the Devon Amphitheater this year.

The Devon on Tap: Craft Beer and Music Festival are from noon to 5 pm on Saturday, August 28. Tickets are $30 per person and include eight tasting tickets. If you are a designated driver, admission is $10.
