We know you love beer, live music, and great food, so Lake Geneva Country Meats is hosting a free Summer 2022 Lake Geneva Beer Picnic event series for you to enjoy!
Every Wednesday night from July 6th – August 10th, Lake Geneva Country Meats will be using the grass field next to our store to host a food truck, Midwestern brewery, and a great up-and-coming local musician for you to discover. Bring a blanket and chairs, then prepare for fun!
The music starts at 4 PM and ends at 6 PM, and you’re welcome to bring the family hang out for the whole event, or you can pop in to grab a quick beer and enjoy a few songs, or even just plan on a pit-stop after work to grab a takeout dinner from your favorite food truck.
This free event series is family and pet friendly. If you’re bringing a four legged friend, we ask that they stay leashed, play nicely with others, and don’t do their business in our event area.
