Corks, Kegs & ‘Que Festival
On May 31st, the first annual Corks, Kegs, & Que festival is rolling into Thorson’s Arena in Morgan Hill – a venue featuring two covered equestrian arenas that sets the stage for stunning rural views.
The arenas will be filled with local wineries, breweries, a cider house and distillery pouring tastings from 5-8pm. The Marketplace will have rows of vendors showing off their coolest items for purchase. For those brave guests, take a daring leap onto the wild, bucking mechanical bull for an adrenaline-charged rush. Line dance instructors will be teaching new dance moves exclusively for VIPs at 4pm, with energetic sessions carried out during band breaks for all attending guests. The Morgan Hill Wine Trolley will be open for tours that might just inspire your next wild bash. Morgan Hill Cigar will be onsite to display some of their popular cigars for purchase, with their lively cigar lounge buzzing with aficionados puffing away like they’re in a retro speakeasy.
Get ready to indulge in a mouth-watering BBQ feast that’s included in both VIP and General Admission ticket prices. Savor the smokey flavors of pulled pork and chicken or stuffed bell peppers specially crafted for vegan lovers. Each plate comes loaded with bakes beans, coleslaw and cornbread and served from 5-7pm. Those who wish to pass on the BBQ, can purchase a General Admission ticket at a reduced price.
On stage will be hometown musician Shane Dwight, who has shared the stage with Blake Shelton, The Doobie Brothers and B.B. King, just to name a few. Shane, who now lives in Nashville, will be debuting songs from his brand-new country album.
So throw on your favorite boots and join us for an unforgettable evening of country fun, community, and cheers!
