Mark your calendars for May 3rd, 2025, as Mainspring of Ephrata and the Ephrata Rec Center present Ephrata Rhythm & Brews at Thomas P. Grater Community Park. This exciting new festival builds on the spirit of craft beverage culture that first took root in Ephrata with the 2016 Brewfest, now reimagined as a broader celebration of local flavors and music.
Rhythm & Brews will feature ten carefully selected beverage makers ranging from breweries, to wineries to distilleries including local favorites Pour Man’s Brewing Company, St. Boniface Craft Brewing Company, Inspiration Brewing Company, and Old Republic Distillery showcasing the best of our region’s breweries, wineries, and distilleries. For those looking for non-alcoholic beverages, there will be creative options as well. Three fantastic live bands, including Keri Edwards, Crackerboxx, and the Jess Zimmerman Band will keep attendees entertained all afternoon. Rounding out the day will be a variety of food trucks. All-in-all, it’s the perfect recipe for a spring afternoon in the park.
This celebration isn’t just about great drinks and music – it’s about supporting our local beverage crafters and fostering the vibrant community spirit that makes Ephrata special. Every sip and every song helps strengthen the connections that make our town unique while supporting hosts Mainspring of Ephrata and The Ephrata Rec.
