Get ready to travel back in time at the Palmetto Optimist Club Microbrew Festival, where we're Rocking the 80s in downtown Sumter! The event kicks off and wraps up at the Sumter Rotary Plaza, where Bad Water will be rocking the stage with the best hits of the 80s.

Ticket holders will stroll through downtown, sampling a variety of beers provided by Yahnis at participating local businesses. Along the way, guests can snack on delicious bites, enjoy classic 80s tunes, and soak in the electric atmosphere.
