With 2 days to go, here's your Official Suds on the Shore Survival Guide!

Whether you're a seasoned Suds pro or it's your first time hitting the festival, here’s everything you need to know to have your best day on the lakeshore:

✔️ Get your tickets NOW – Prices go up the day of the festival, and you don’t want to spend more when that money could go toward tokens, merch, or snacks. Grab yours here: www.sudsontheshore.com

🪪 BRING. YOUR. ID.
This one’s serious: No valid photo ID = no entry. Even if you're 92 and are wearing a shirt that says “World’s Oldest Beer Fan.” NO ID = NO ENTRY

🥤 Hydrate – Hydration is your friend.

🕶️ Pack the festival basics – Sunscreen, sunglasses, a chair or blanket for music breaks, umbrella just in case, and cash or card for food, tokens, and Suds merch (which is looking especially good this year 👀).

🎶 Make a game plan – 47 vendors, 2 awesome bands (The Legal Immigrants + Groovix Cube), 3 delicious food trucks (Cluck Bucket - Downtown, Lakeside Wiener Wagon & BBQ, and Brunch Babes Food Truck), and 2 amazing retail vendors (Ales to Trails and Michigan Beer Drinker)… pace yourself and plan your route like the craft connoisseur we know you are.

Tag your crew, pack your essentials, and we’ll see you Saturday!
