IT’S THE BEST of a few worlds: The Eastside Arts Society’s annual Art! Bike! Beer! Crawl fundraiser and tour is taking place for the ninth year on the afternoon of July 27. It’s all part of the 2024 CREATE! Eastside Arts Festival.
Here’s how it works: Rain or shine, arts lovers can walk or cycle to their pick of three out of 10 participating Eastside breweries: Bomber Brewing, CowDog Brewing Co., East Van Brewing, Luppolo Brewing Co., Off the Rail Brewing, Parallel 49 Brewing Co., Powell Brewery, Storm Brewing, Strange Fellows Brewing, and Strathcona Beer Co. Things wrap up at the CREATE! Eastside Arts Festival’s Art Zone with a final tasting from Strange Fellows Brewing, as well as activities and raffle prizes. A pint or tasting flight is included at all four stops.
Tickets are $55 plus GST and a processing fee.
Funds raised support the Eastside Arts Society’s programming and festivals, which include the annual Eastside Culture Crawl. The 2024 event happens from November 14 to 17 and will see more than 500 area artists open up their studios to the public.
