TRAVEL: Horseshoe Bay Resort Hosting Beer By The Bay Music Festival, August 13 – 14

The summer isn’t over just yet.  To make sure you can soak up some quality golf and relax with live music, Horseshoe Bay Resort is bringing back its annual Beer By The Bay Music Festival, being held August 13th and 14th.

The eighth rendition of this popular annual event encompasses the finest collection of Texas musicians and Texas-based breweries.

“This is an event that so many people mark on their calendars, so it’s exciting to see how many groups have already booked their weekend packages for Beer By the Bay,” says Bryan Woodward, managing director. “Along with the Fall’s Wine, Dine and Jazz Festival, The Shootout and the springtime Balloons Over Horseshoe Bay festival, this festival is indicative of how our Horseshoe Bay Resort signature events have created lasting and thrilling memories for our members and resort guests. If you haven’t experienced our unique combinations of entertainment and world-class food and beverage events, please join us this year.”

This year’s event runs Friday and Saturday, August 13 and 14. The 2021 Beer By the Bay Festival will be headlined by two talented performers: Austin’s hometown legend Bob Schneider (40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet), Big Blue Sea, Changing Your Mind) on Friday night and multi-platinum entertainer Sara Evans who has five No. 1 singles (No Place That Far, Suds in the Bucket, A Real Fine Place to Start, Born to Fly and A Little Bit Stronger) on Saturday night.

Packages include admission each night, culinary offerings and craft beer tastings inside the festival site. Upgrades to the Festival Plus package includes beer and wine tastings, and access to the festival lounge. “This event will sell out, so don’t delay in securing your hotel package,” says Woodward. “Limited space is available.”
