The Brewfest is renowned for its commitment to community and excellence. As Executive Director Daniel Embree states, “Simply put, our beloved community programming—including the KSQ Farmer’s Market, Third Thursdays on State Street, the decorations in town, and the Holiday Light Parade—could not exist without Brewfest. Your ticket buys you a quality craft beer experience with friends, and it puts another ornament on the tree for everyone in Kennett.”
John Fusco from Wilmington Brew Works highlights the festival’s impact, sharing, “We circle the date of the Kennett Brewfest on our calendar each year. It’s one of my favorite beer events. I can directly trace my craft beer awakening to attending the Kennett Brewfest in 2006. Returning as a brewer is such a privilege!”
