A spring celebration of community – hosted by your friendly neighborhood breweries!

Mayfestiversary returns on Memorial Day Weekend 2025! Begyle Brewing and Dovetail Brewery are hosting their annual spring party to welcome back Chicago's best season and the 9th anniversary of Dovetail Brewery – join us to help reach 3 million meals donated to the Friendship Center!

All ages welcome. Dog friendly. A $5 suggested donation will benefit The Friendship Center, our local food pantry that's been providing groceries and more for our Northside neighbors facing hunger for more than 50 years. Since partnering with The Friendship Center in 2018, our events' gate donations have provided the equivalent of more than a million meals.
