Beer, wine festival to raise funds for local nonprofits

The All-Star Craft Beer & Wine Festival later this month will feature opportunities to taste hundreds of brews while giving back to charity.

The baseball-themed festival will take place May 20 at Citizens Bank Park, giving guests the chance to sample more than 200 products from regional breweries and wineries. A portion of proceeds benefits The Barkann Family Healing Hearts Foundation, which supports families who have lost a loved one to sudden illness or death, and the FOP Survivors Fund, which supports families of fallen officers.

There will be prizes, giveaways and activities throughout the day, as well as live music and entertainment. Festivalgoers can also get into the spirit of the setting by walking the Phillies bases and getting a professional photo in the dugout.

VIP tickets are available, which provide an added hour of entertainment in the Hall of Fame Club.

All tickets come with two complimentary tickets to a Phillies game later this season.
