14th Annual RedhookFest Brings Blues Traveler to Portsmouth, N.H.‏

14th ANNUAL REDHOOKFEST Tickets Now On Sale – FEATURING MUSICAL GUEST BLUES TRAVELER

Redhook Ale Brewery’s Backyard Festival Goes Green and Blues

Saturday, July 24

Portsmouth, N.H. –  Tickets for Redhook Ale Brewery’s 14th annual RedhookFest are on sale now. For 13 consecutive years, Redhook Ale Brewery’s RedhookFest has attracted thousands of craft beer and music lovers from across New England for a summertime bash in the brewery’s backyard. This year, the event, complete with music, food, and beer, will feature rock/jam music legend Blues Traveler as the headline act. The platinum-selling, Grammy winning band, led by harmonica wielding front man, John Popper, is known for spontaneous spirit and electric energy that is sure to leave fans thirsty for more.

RedhookFest is a family-friendly festival including a vendor village complete with games, activities, and prizes from local cultural and adventure-based businesses. Additionally, for the first time in event history, RedhookFest is going green. The fest is aiming for near zero waste by maximizing recycling and composting efforts and by using compostable corn-based products in place of non-compostable materials. The nutrient-rich compost will then be used to grow hop plants and flowers in the brewery’s beer garden.

Tickets for RedhookFest are $20 when purchased in advance. Tickets for kids 12 and under are $5 at the gate with the purchase of an adult ticket. Tickets can be purchased at Cataqua Public House, located at Redhook Brewery and online at the festival’s dedicated website, www.hookfest.com.
