The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce introduces the inaugural Expo Beer Garden & Food Truck Fest at SCV Community Expo on Sunday, Sept. 18 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Santa Clarita Sports Complex. The Sports Complex is located at 20880 Centre Pointe Parkway near the intersection of Golden Valley Road with access via the cross-valley connector.

The Beer Garden features a mix of familiar, novel and specialty beer brands available for purchase, along with food from various gourmet food truck vendors. Anheuser-Busch will provide key components of the beer garden, including a 26-foot refrigerated trailer to keep the brews perfectly chilled. Selected brews are scheduled to include Budweiser, Bud Light, Shock Top, Redhook Longhammer, and Stella Artois, and Shock Top Pumpkin as a seasonal beer.

Admittance to the Beer Garden requires an event wristband available for $3; must be ages 21 or over. There’s no charge for access to food trucks or exhibit halls.

Live entertainment on the community stage gets the party going starting with Santa Clarita-based, classic rock, pop, and R&B band, Blue Sky. Performing in the big band jazz genre, the 20-piece ensemble group The Damn Handsome Band takes center stage in the afternoon with its brass sounds.

The Expo Beer Garden and Food Truck Fest is just one event planned to draw thousands of local residents to the Sports Complex on Sept. 16, 17 and 18. The SCV Chamber of Commerce in association with the City of Santa Clarita presents the 27th Annual SCV Community Expo (also known as the Home and Business Expo) and Taste of Expo! celebration.

 

Two Exhibit Halls + Outside Exhibits = 100 Exhibitors

The SCV Community Expo spans two exhibit halls and an outdoor exhibit area at the Santa Clarita Sports Complex occupying the Activities Center, Gymnasium and adjacent parking lots. More than 100 exhibitors representing Santa Clarita Valley businesses will be showcased at Expo, many with raffles and giveaways throughout the weekend. In addition, a Nonprofit Arena will provide quality face-time for area nonprofit organizations.

The celebration begins Friday, Sept. 16 from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. with Taste of Expo!, Santa Clarita’s largest business mixer and networking event, featuring up to 30 of the area’s finest restaurants and caterers.

Cost for admission is $20 and includes 10 food and drink tickets. Additional tickets are available for purchase. Advance tickets will be sold at the Chamber office located at 27451 Tourney Road, Suite 160 in Valencia or available at the door the night of the event.
