Patrons raise their glasses at Mars Brewfest

MARS — Pittsburgh Street and Grand Avenue were shut down for what some would call the “out of this world” experience of the 7th Mars Brewfest.

Attendees mingled among music and laughter, glasses in their hands that came with their ticket.

The event serves as a fundraiser for Mars New Year, which occurs every 22 months in conjunction with the planet’s trip around the sun, Mayor Gregg Hartung said.

“We sold 550 tickets online, and I think we’ll sell as many at the door,” he said. “In past years, we’ve had 1,200 people come through here. They like how much variety is here with wine, beer, distilleries and food trucks.”
