Union Centre Blvd Blast Music & Food Festival
The Union Center Blvd Blast Music & Food Festival is getting ready to start and you are in for a treat. There will be tons of music from bands like the Spin Doctors, Dave Mason, Kristen Keys and band, and more. If that didn’t get your attention them maybe the beer will. This year under the Craft Beer Tent 50 types of beer will be displayed including domestic and international craft brews. $10 will get you 6 tickets and each ticket is good for a 3 ounce pour. If you aren’t much of a beer drinker and more of a wine connoisseur then they have you covered as well. You will be able to taste over 50 wines! With just $10 you can purchase for 4 wine tickets and each wine ticket will buy a 2 ounce sample. Along with the food and drinks are special events like a car show, hot chicken wing eating contest and a 5k walk and run and the Best of Blast Tasting awards ceremony.
