Birmingham – Good People Brewing Company is hosting the 9th Annual AirWave festival to benefit Black Warrior Riverkeeper, Cahaba Riverkeeper and Coosa Riverkeeper, from 1 PM to 10 PM on Saturday, March 21. The family-friendly public event features dozens of live bands, talented craft vendors, a silent auction, local food trucks and Good People’s high quality beers brewed on premises.
“We are excited to partner with our local Waterkeeper organizations once again,” said Kyle Hulsey, Tap Room Manager, Good People Brewing Company. “Without their hard work, we wouldn’t have the clean water we love to play in and also make great beer with!”
The three local Waterkeepers recently worked with seven partner organizations to launch a website and interactive map for Waterkeepers Alabama. At AirWave, these three nonprofits will equally share the income from sponsorships, merchandise sales, silent auction, donations and proceeds from beer sales.
“AirWave is a celebration of everything our rivers do for us, where we all come together to support their conservation,” said Dan Morriss, AirWave’s producer. “Guests can enjoy a wide variety of musical performances and artistic displays as they explore the event grounds.”
