“We’re excited to kick off the summer with a fun outdoor concert festival for people of all ages,” said Vincent Crysler, partner/owner of Pilsener Haus & Biergarten. “There will be something for everyone throughout the course of the weekend: food, drinks, live music and more. We’ll be simulcasting the event on video screens at Pilsener Haus & Biergarten and the Saturday and Sunday afternoon sessions will feature family entertainment, so everyone can enjoy a little time outdoors, either at the stage or here in the restaurant.”
