Beach Cat Brewing’s ‘Catoberfest’ is returning to Blaine Marine Park for a second year Saturday, September 13 for an event that organizers hope will have attendees swinging their lagers and raising funds for Blaine Food Bank.
The family friendly event, held from noon to 7 p.m., will have live music, food, youth games, cornhole and a silent auction, among other entertainment at the Bavarian-style Oktoberfest.
Tickets are $25 for general admission, $100 for groups of five and $50 for VIP tickets that include two drinks as well as a ‘Catoberfest’ glass and T-shirt. Children aged 17 years and younger who are with an adult receive free entry. Pets are not allowed.
The brewing company, which has locations in Birch Bay and Bellingham, hopes to up the ante from last year’s $23,000 raised for the food bank. This year, the event’s target goal is $50,000, $18,800 of which it already received as of September 2, according to the event website.
Beach Cat Brewing co-owner Jake Gobeille said last year that he wanted to use the event to celebrate the shift into autumn while helping support an essential nonprofit. Gobeille also made sure to align the festival with his late friend Bradley Hill’s birthday, as a way to honor him.
