City approves variance to permit BrewFest May 4

City Commissioners approved a request from Ponca City’s Main Street Program Monday night which will allow for the serving of 2-ounce craft beer samples during BrewFest, a new event to be held May 4.

BrewFest will be held on Central Avenue between Third and Fifth Streets, and on Fourth Street west of the City Cental building.

Samples will be provided by licensed home brewers in the event area.

Chelsea McConnell, executive director of Ponca City Main Street, said BrewFest will be a replacement this year for  the organization’s “Battle of the Burger” event that has taken place the past three years.
