AMP Fest 2020 ‘To Go’ fundraiser set

ROGERS — Beer, music and tech enthusiasts can still enjoy the Walmart Arkansas Music Pavilion’s AMP Fest on Oct. 24-25 with a “To Go” version of the annual fundraiser for 2020.

General admission tickets are available for $40 and include a six-pack holder and beer, sampling cups, sponsor swag and instructions. A limited number of merchandise upgrades are available for just $5 and include a pint glass, guitar pick and AMP Fest T-shirt from 2019. Tickets can be purchased by calling 479-443-5600 or visiting www.amptickets.com.

Participants will pick up packets from 4-6:30 p.m. Oct. 23, in the backstage lot at Walton Arts Center or from 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Oct. 24, in the north parking lot at the Walmart AMP. This will be a drive-through pickup of AMP Fest merchandise and instructions on how to access the AMP Fest app and unlock the brewery scavenger hunt clues.

The brewery scavenger hunt starts at noon Oct. 24. Participants will get riddles and clues via the AMP Fest app that will lead them to each brewery where they can pick up their beverages for the virtual event.

You can choose to opt out of the scavenger hunt when purchasing your tickets and just pick up your full six-pack from noon-2 p.m. Saturday at Bike Rack Brewing in the 8th Street Market.

On Oct. 25 from 4 to 5 p.m., AMP Fest will be an online event via Zoom, broadcast live from the 80-foot bar in Walmart AMP’s Choctaw Plaza. Local master brewers will discuss the beers provided for sampling, how they are made, what they pair with and what makes them unique.

There will also be a tech talk by one of the tech sponsors and a live performance by The Juice.
