Main Street Fairmont to Host 2nd Annual Frank n Stein Craft Beer Festival

The City of Fairmont is set to welcome back its first craft beer festival just in time for Halloween weekend. On Saturday, November 1, starting at 2 p.m., Main Street Fairmont will hold the 2nd Annual Frank n Stein Craft Beer Festival.

The event will feature nearly two dozen breweries and over a dozen food vendors from the North Central West Virginia region celebrating Halloween with attendees in downtown Fairmont. The festival will run until 6 p.m.

Event Details and Participation

Alex Petry, Executive Director of Main Street Fairmont, encourages local residents to join the festival, which highlights both local food and breweries. He explained the collaboration behind the event:

“This Saturday, November 1st, is the 2nd Annual Frank n Stein Craft Beer and Hot Dog Festival, and what that is is that it’s a partnered event between Main Street Fairmont and the Chamber of Commerce. And the theme is Frank n Stein, so that’s hot dogs and beer.”

Breweries and Vendors

According to Petry, 14 Mountain State breweries and four from neighboring states will participate. In-state breweries include Corber Beer Company, Greenbrier Valley, Short Storey Brewing, High Ground Brewing, Chestnut Brew Works, Free Folk, Hawk Knob, Screech Out, Stub Town Ales, and Big Timber.

Festival-goers can also purchase exclusive mugs crafted by Fairmont area artisans throughout the afternoon.

The festival offers a unique blend of local flavors and community spirit to kick off the Halloween celebrations.
