An inaugural event that benefits the preservation of Cape Coral’s history is looking for volunteers.

The inaugural Brew Fest at Cultural Park is set for Saturday, May 20, from 2-5 p.m., and will be put on by the Cape Coral Museum of History.

Organizers are looking for a myriad of volunteers to help put on the event at varying times between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Positions to help set up, work the front of the house, VIP tent, beer tents, ticket sales and clean-up/break down are all being sought.

“The museum could not perform at the level we do without the help of volunteers,” said museum Executive Director Janel Trull. “From front of house and docents, to those who work behind the scenes setting up, breaking down and doing all the thankless jobs, volunteers are the life blood of the museum and we truly appreciate them.”

Volunteers are needed in the following time slots for individual roles, they are:

• 9 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Event Set-up: 10 people needed

• Noon – 3 p.m. Front of House: 13 people needed

• Noon – 3 p.m. VIP Tent: 4 people needed

• 12:30 – 3 p.m. Beer Tent Pourer: 10 people needed

• 2:30 – 5:30 p.m. Front of House: 7 people needed

• 2:30 – 5:30 p.m. Traveling ticket sales: 2 people needed

• 4 – 6 p.m. Clean-up/Break Down: 10 people needed

The museum will have a volunteer orientation on May 15 to go over all duties and to help pull together any event equipment, etc.

“Let us know what you can do,” organizers said. “Have a friend who wants to volunteer? Send them the list and have them sign up.”

All volunteers will have access to water and choice of hot dog or hamburger during the event.

At the event, attendees can sample two to four choices from each of the participating breweries as many times as they wish, taste treats from various food trucks, shop local vendor booths and enjoy live music from area performers.

Tickets are on sale now, with three different levels available: VIP, general admission and designated driver. All proceeds will benefit the museum, its mission and programming.

Brew Fest at Cultural Park will feature at least 10 breweries on site, including 3 Daughters Brewing, Coastal Dayz Brewing, Florida Avenue Brewing, Kona Brewing, Millennial Brewing, Motorworks Brewing, Riptide Brewing, Scotty’s Bierwerks, Tampa Bay Brewing and Wicked Weed Brewing.

The event space will have two stages and will feature the band Resolution, Deena da singer and two additional musical acts.

VIP tickets are $75 and include early admission to the event at 1 p.m. and access to the VIP tent during the event with snacks and seating provided. A tasting cup and VIP lanyard are included with the ticket price. Tickets also include entry to the VIP reception and auction to be held at Nice Guys Pizza on Cape Coral Parkway on May 18, from 6-8 p.m.

General admission tickets are $40 each with tasting cup included. Designated Driver tickets are $20 each and include access to soda and water during the event.

“All proceeds from the event will go the Cape Coral Museum of History to help with operational funds, programming and future events,” Trull said. “The last several years have been very challenging, and just when we thought we were on the upswing, Hurricane Ian had other plans. The Brew Fest is our major fundraiser for the year and, thanks to the generosity of our 20 event sponsors, we are hopeful that we will be able to meet our fundraising goals.”

The event is for adults 21 and older. IDs will be checked at the admission tent and before receiving your tasting cup. The event is rain or shine, and will be relocated to the German American Social Club if needed. If a venue change is required, a decision will be announced by May 17.
