About the organizer
The Franksville Craft Beer Garden is an award winning beer garden located in the Franksville Memorial Park. The FCBG was recently awarded 6 "Best of Racine County Awards" for Best Event, Best Free Entertainment, Best Family Fun, Best Customer Service, Best Beer List, and Best Happy Hour. The FCBG was also named a finalist for "Best Beer Garden in Milwaukee" by the Shepherd Xpress.
As Racine County's original and only permanent Craft Beer Garden, the beer garden adds to the historic legacy of the park, which has been a community gathering place since some of the areas first settlers in 1832.
The FCBG serves a rotation of 16-22 Wisconsin Craft Beers on tap along with cider and wine; in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Bring your kids! We have our own playground and sandbox, and plenty of green space. You'll find yard games, board games, music, and lively conversation every day.
We also offer events and activities throughout the summer such as food trucks, live music, fundraisers, yoga classes and more.
