The Harpoon Summer Session

Harpoon's summer festival of beer and bands. This Harpoon two-day, annual event is held annually in early June. Outside and under tents, we celebrate the coming of summer with Harpoon beer fresh from the brewery and great local music from some of the area's best up and coming bands.

What happened to Harpoon Brewstock? We hope to make this event a showcase for great live music and a great way to kick off the summer. Basically, to steal a phrase, we are kicking it up a notch, in terms of the tunes - same great beer, same great party, now Summer Session-style.
