Mark your calendar for the Iowa Craft Brew Festival from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday in Water Works Park. It’s your chance to sample more than 300 varieties of craft beers, ciders, meads and seltzers produced around the state. Bring a picnic blanket or chairs so you can soak in the live music from the Sheet, a reggae-infused cover band, and enjoy snacks from several food trucks until 4 p.m.

General admission is $50 in advance or $60 at the door, and $10 for designated drivers.
