Fifty breweries, including local favorites Platform, Royal Docks and Market Garden, will be on hand for the second annual Cleveland Summer Beerfest, which takes place today at Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica.

There will be food trucks and live music.

Session 1 takes place from 1 to 5 p.m., and Session 2 follows from 7 to 11 p.m. The $35 admission includes 25 tickets for 5-ounce samples. Designated driver tickets cost $15, and if you arrive within the first two hours of your chosen session, you’ll receive a $5 food truck coupon, free bottled water and soft drinks.

This is a 21-and-over event, even for designated drivers. It takes place rain or shine. (Daniella Cacho)
