The 10th annual Sisters Fresh Hop Festival returns Saturday, September 28, hosted by Three Creeks Brewing at its production facility. This is the second year that Three Creeks has hosted the event; previously, it took place in Sisters’ Village Green Park. There will be a large tent set up on the lawn, and if like last year, the doors to the brewery will open the doors as well.

It’s not just about drinking fresh hop beer either. The event is a fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House and every year raises a significant amount of money.

Here are the press release details:

Welcome to the 10th Annual Sisters Fresh Hop Festival! Every year, Three Creeks Brewing Company teams up with the Central Oregon Brewers Guild to raise money for a non-profit. In 2018, we were able to raise close to $10,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities! This year, we are working with the Ronald McDonald House Charities again. What better way to fight for a cause than drinking the world’s freshest beer with your friends?  Join us for great music, delicious food and fresh hop beer from over 25 Oregon breweries!
​
There will be food trucks, a bouncy house, and music from The Brothers Reed and ​Tony Lompa. Vendors from Oregon Hop Springs to Horizon Broadcasting will be set up around the beer tent.

Like last year, SFH will take place at the Three Creeks Brewing Production Facility will be home to the event to allow a more brewery-like atmosphere.

Kids and dogs are allowed at the event, but not inside of the beer tent. Bring your friends and family for a great time!
