The Macon Beer Festival is the party with a cause. In its second year, as a Pints for Prostates event, this festival showcases wonderful beers while this a grassroots campaign uses the universal language of beer to reach men with an important health message. The campaign raises awareness among men about the need for regular health screenings and PSA testing.

Put on by the Rotary Club of downtown Macon, Main Street Macon and several of the downtown venues. You’ll be able to stroll to different downtown Macon locations and sample three beers at each location. Men 40 and over will be offered a free PSA blood test, a $75 dollar value.

The drinks start flowing on Saturday, August 25 at 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $17.50 and are available through Mercer ticket sales. You can purchase tickets by phone at 478.301.5470, in person at The Grand Opera House box office at 651 Mulberry Street or online at Ovations. Online orders have an additional fee of $1.00 per ticket. Tickets are $20 the day of the festival. All tickets are “will call” and will be available for pick up beginning at 3:00 p.m. in Third Street Park. ID will be checked at Will Call and at each venue.
