Making sure to get the perfect head on the draft beer at the Edwardsville Spring Beer Festival.DC Cusanelli, Dirty Astronauts and the Robert Perry Band with The Original Mojos kept the music alive throughout the day with performances on the grand stand.

Although the festival was surrounded by the constantly flowing alcoholic beverages, the event was all in all a chance for families and friends to gather together and enjoy each others’ company.

“It’s been a very diverse crowd,” he also said, ”We always get families that come out. This is the most dogs and strollers we’ve seen out in the park. We love it. We’re family-oriented, my wife and I have three boys, so we want to make it a family-friendly event and at the same time we want to serve the craft beer community that supports us.”

There was no cost to attend the festival, but tokens for drinks could be purchased at $2 a token. A portion of the proceeds for the day will be donated to Edwardsville’s Better Place to Play Foundation.
