The Fest is ALL AGES/FREE ADMISSION. $8 for festival tasting glass. $1 a taste. Also for your senses will be: Belly dancing, fire dancing, fire eating, a live blacksmith forge, on site tattoo artists, dark cuisine, music, tarot card reading, and a HUGE art show featuring some of Astoria’s great artists showcasing their “dark art.” This is not your Mom’s beer fest.
