We know it’s not like you need another reason to attend this awesome brewfest, but we wanted you to know that this is all for a good cause too! The festivities are a benefit for the Lincoln Theatre which is a restored 1926 historic vaudeville & silent movie house in downtown Mount Vernon. The theater presents a year-round schedule of concerts, current and classic films, and community events; as well as working with local school districts, hosting school performances and workshops by performing artists on tour, and annual concerts by secondary school bands. The Lincoln Theatre hosts concerts by the local youth symphony, presents community-sponsored children’s theatre productions, as well as serving as a venue for fund-raising events by local service organizations. The Lincoln Theatre Center Foundation, founded in 1987, is a registered non-profit organization supported by over 2000 members from Skagit and adjoining counties.
