Busch Gardens Williamsburg will mark the end of summer starting Friday with its craft beer and barbecue festival.

Bier Fest Brews and BBQ will be held every Friday through Sunday throughout August, plus on Labor Day, from noon until 30 minutes prior to the park’s closing. More than 80 craft brews and specialty cocktails will be available at restaurants and stands throughout the park.

The event’s menu will feature barbecue dishes such as pulled pork, chicken barbecue sliders and barbecue smoked salmon, and desserts such as chocolate bourbon pecan pie.
