SJ Broofest: A Nightmare on Alma Street at San Jose’s Municipal Stadium
From the folks who brought us the Bacon and Beer Classic comes their latest beery endeavor – a Halloween beer festival titled San Jose Broofest: A Nightmare on Alma Street.
The event takes place on two days – Friday evening, Oct. 28 (8pm-11pm) and Saturday afternoon, Oct. 29 (1pm – 4pm) – at San Jose’s Municipal Stadium (588 E. Alma Ave.).
Municipal Stadium was also the setting for two of the three previous Bacon and Beer Classics held in the South Bay (the most recent being Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara).
Kate Levenstien, founder of Cannonball Productions and the Bacon and Beer Classic, says of the Broofest launch in San Jose. “What better way to celebrate Halloween than with craft beer? We will have something for everyone: refreshing brews, delicious food, games, music, costumes, and more. I can’t wait to be back in San Jose…”
