Second Annual Urban Beer Garden Event featuring Local Food and Beer on on Thursday, August 17 to Support KNOX Community Gardens

Join KNOX for the 2nd Annual URBAN Beer Garden at KNOX from 5:30 – 7:30 pm on Thursday, July 14, 2022. The event happens right in Hartford, at 75 Laurel Street and supports KNOX programs including our 21 Community Gardens serving over 200 families each year.

Proceeds will support our programs, especially the Community Gardens. All gardeners receive growing space, seeds, soil and water for free to grow their own food in Hartford.

Tickets are $40 in advance ($50 at the door) and can be purchased at www.knoxhartford.org/events. Each ticket gets a limited edition light-up beer mug, ticket for one food item, great music and fun for the evening.

In addition to laying the groundwork for a great night with all the food and entertainment needed, you can learn more about the 21 Community Gardens managed by KNOX, bid on wonderful silent auction items, and enjoy a beautiful evening outside with your friends.

A new feature for the event this year will be the inclusion of local vendors from the KNOX Urban Farming program who will showcase their products and services to all.

WHEN: Thursday, August 17, 2023; 5:30 – 7:30 pm
WHERE: KNOX, Inc., 75 Laurel Street, Hartford, CT.
