20th Annual Schweitzer Fall Fest Celebration September 1-3
Three Days, Eight Bands, 50+ Microbrews, Discounted Lift
Tickets
Sandpoint, ID- Schweitzer Mountain Resort is going all out
for their 20th annual Fall Fest Celebration! The music and beer festival is
extended to three days this season, September 1-3, and will feature 50+
Northwest Microbrews, ciders, wine tasting and free live music including;
Pickwick, The Jerry Joseph Band, and Larry & His Flask.
Microbrews from eight states and over 20 breweries will be
available. Festival highlights such as Rogue’s Hazelnut Brown and Ninkasi’s
Nuptiale will likely be crowd favorites, and due to high demand they’ll
disappear quickly.
The festival begins each morning with a “Beereakfast” from
8am – 11am where Chef Brett will cook up a delicious breakfast served with a
morning brew. Afterwards the music and beer will flow from 11am – 6pm on
Saturday and Sunday, 11am – 4pm on Monday.
Discounted lift tickets will be offered for the mountain’s last
summer weekend - an unlimited lift ticket will be offered at the price of a
single-ride ticket at just $12 per adult.
“The stage has been set for the largest Fall Fest in
history” said Brandon Peterson, Schweitzer’s Events Manager. “Everything is
larger this year, more beer, more bands, and an additional day – I’m beyond
excited”.
The Great Escape Quad and zip line will be open from 11am
and run until 6pm on Saturday and Sunday, 11am – 5pm on Monday. Saturday’s
concert will start with Justin Lantrip at 11am, followed by Adrian Xavier at
1:30pm, and closing with Pickwick from 4pm – 6pm. Sunday kicks off with Cedar and Boyer at
11am, Emily Wells at 1pm, closing with The Jerry Joseph Band at 3pm. For the
closing day, Not Quite Punk will be on at 11am and Larry & His Flask will
close the festival down from 2pm – 4pm.
In addition to the Fall Fest fun, this will be the last
weekend to take the zip line, play mountain-top disc golf, cruise down
lift-access mountain bike trails, and simply enjoy the summer scenery from the
top of Schweitzer before it is covered in snow. All hiking and biking trails
will close for the season on September 3, 2012.
Lodging is still available for the event, but filling up
fast. Guests can take advantage of Schweitzer’s “Third Night Free” package
available in the White Pine or Selkirk Lodge.
Admission to the festival is free. Beer tasting packages
range from $10 - $45. Soda sampling is $8 for a 12oz mug with 3 samples. Single
beers, wine, and soda options are available as well. For complete pricing options, beer & wine
