Montgomery Parks to Host ‘Acoustics and Ales’ Winter Happy Hour Series Featuring Evenings of Live Music, Locally Crafted Beer and Food

Montgomery Parks will be turning several of its parks into occasional evenings of music, beer and food that will be suitable for all family members (excluding the beer part). There is no charge for admission for the “Acoustics and Ales” winter happy hour events, which begin Friday, Feb. 11, in Germantown, but there are charges for food and beverages. 

Beer, food and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase. Advance registration is not required and parking availability may vary based on location. Parks are accessible by public transportation.

Due to County guidelines, alcohol sales will end at 7 p.m. at every event. Dogs are welcome at each event, but must be kept on leashes and picked up after.
