Mike Hess Brewing is turning 12! Come and celebrate with us and be part of the party on August 13 as we celebrate 12 years of Great Beer, No Exceptions and raise money to help kids with cancer. This year's beneficiary of all net proceeds from HessFest is OAK (Oncology and Kids), an organization doing wonderful things for kids and families going through pediatric cancer. Grab your shades, blanket, and lawn chairs, grab the kids and your friendly pooch, and head beachside to Pier Plaza along Seacoast, just south of the Imperial Beach Fishing Pier for this super fun summertime event. An awesome way to enjoy summer with your friends and family! This year, enjoy an IBAC-run no-entry-fee cornhole tournament for prizes; food from FOUR food vendors including City Tacos, Doggos Gus, Dang Bros Pizza and more, plenty of beverages (Mike Hess Brewing beers, house-made root beer and more), and the main event: a concert featuring headliner The Sully Band, OB reggae sensation Sensi Trails and local IB favorites, The Payne Killers! To top it all off, have fun while doing good: Unlike so many other festivals, MHB will be donating the net proceeds from HessFest to our charity beneficiary partner, and each of the vendors at HessFest will also be donating a portion of the day's proceeds. Representatives from OAK will be on hand to talk to guests about their mission and why your support means so much to them and the people they serve.
