shoes, which come in two styles and will be sold exclusively at the event. A few dozen fans were able to score some of the only 500 pairs during a Punk in the Park preparty at Rad Beer Co. in Anaheim on Oct. 14, but once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Since Brew Ha Ha Productions also specializes in craft beer events, there will be beer, cider, mead, kombucha and seltzer tastings from noon-3 p.m. daily for those 21 or older.
Participating breweries include 2 Towns Ciderhouse, Alesmith, Artifex, Brewery X, Modern Times, It’s Alive Kombucha, Nectar Creek Meadery, Wild Barrel and more. Fans can also try the new Punk in the Park West Coast IPA, a collaboration between Rad Beer and Stone Brewing, that will be available for tastings and for purchase alongside Stone’s Buenaveza Salt & Lime Lager in tall cans at the bars.
Cell service and Wi-Fi have notoriously been an issue out at Oak Canyon, but Collins & Co. made an investment for additional infrastructure at the festival grounds for free Wi-Fi so fans can text, call and use social sites. On-site parking will be available, but there’s also a free shuttle with round-trip service to the Tustin Metrolink Station for those using ridesharing or public transportation.
