fresh hop ale fest

Back in January we told you that the annual Fresh Hop Ale Festival in downtown Yakima was still planning on moving forward with putting on the event in 2021 (slated for Saturday, October 2nd) after a one-year hiatus. That is still the plan (woo-hoo!) but, for now, organizers are delaying ticket sales.

Is the Fresh Hop Ale Festival going to return in 2021 following last year's cancellation due to the coronavirus pandemic?

While it really shouldn't come as much of a surprise these days, it still stings every time we find out another concert or event gets canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The latest to officially announce that they are shuttering for 2020? The Fresh Hop Ale Festival.

Yakima's annual Fresh Hop Ale Festival (Oct. 5), held near the end of hop harvest each year at Millenium Plaza in downtown, has finally gotten so big it is moving a couple of blocks to accommodate the throng expected.

We have tickets!!!
