Conestee Nature Preserve has officially set the date for one of the Upstate’s favorite autumn traditions. The preserve’s annual Hops and Herons Beer Festival will return on Saturday, September 26, 2026, offering an afternoon of local brews, live music, and family-friendly outdoor fun in a scenic natural setting.
Taking place from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM in the preserve’s hilltop Henderson Meadow, the festival will feature unlimited craft beer samples from a dozen local breweries, alongside food available for purchase from local food trucks.
This year’s entertainment will be headlined by the Angela Easterling Duo, bringing southern-tinged Americana and roots music to the meadow stage. Known for its welcoming, relaxed atmosphere under the giant shade oaks, the event is both dog-friendly and open to families.
