Full Lineup

A new feature this year for Summertime By George is that attendees ages 21 and older can now take their drinks anywhere inside the park. The city has approved the expansion of the two previous beer gardens, allowing event-goers to consume alcohol anywhere within the Lake George Park boundaries. A special beer called Shandy By George! is back this summer, along with other beers and wines. No alcohol bought outside the event may be brought into the park.

The Rotary Club of St. Cloud says the profits from liquor sales and other paid experiences during Summertime By George have become an economic engine for the club's programs including the COP House, Pathways 4 Youth, Preschool for Success, and projects in the Dominican Republic.
