About Randolph - First settled in 1778, before Vermont was recognized as state, it is the geographical center of Vermont with a quaint downtown with a branch of the White River winding around the town and minutes from Interstate 89.
The surrounding area is steeped in family agriculture. From sheep that outnumbered people in the 1800s to the family cattle & goat dairies and vegetable farmstands of today. Today, Randolph is also a thriving meeting-spot and shopping center for the surrounding area as well as offering many outdoor activities such as river tubing, kayaking, hiking & mountain biking. Points of interest include Chandler Music Hall, Kimball Library, Restored Train Depot with Amtrak stop, and several shops, a classically-styled movie theatre, restaurants (including One Main Tap & Grill), and even the One Main Growler/Crowler Filling Station & Craft Beer Store.
Festival Rules - This is a festival for the 21+ community to enjoy an afternoon of sampling some great craft brews in the heart of Vermont.
