Tap That Topeka will be back in the Capital City this summer

TOPEKA (KSNT) - A large beer festival is coming back to the Capital City with drinks from local breweries across Kansas.

Tap That Topeka will soon be back in downtown Topeka. Event organizer Hayden Federico told 27 News this event has been in the Capital City for more than 10 years, after taking a brief break last year. According to its website, the Tap That Topeka festival is a way to celebrate community and connections. Along with the beer, there will be food trucks and entertainment.

"Tap That Topeka Beer Festival is an event to highlight not only craft beer around the whole state but also local vendors in the area. Creating a lasting community event in Downtown to show off all that Kansas and Topeka has to offer is the whole driving factor of this event so come join in the fun."
