The Knox County Chamber of Commerce, with support from Koorsen Fire & Security, is launching the Kegs & Corks Craft Beer and Wine Fest in Mount Vernon. The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm, with VIP access starting at 4:00 pm. It will take place along South Main Street, stretching from the square to Gambier Street and bordered by Vine, Mulberry, and Gay Streets.
Debbie Ruggles, Programs & Financial Manager of the Chamber, expressed enthusiasm about the festival's debut. "We’re thrilled to introduce a new tradition to Mount Vernon," she said. "Kegs & Corks Craft Beer & Wine Fest isn’t just a typical brew fest—it’s a celebration of our community’s creative energy, shared love for good beer, wine, food, and great company."
