Draft on Taft

Draft on Taft started about 10 years ago as a block party on Taft St across from Piedmont Park. It has now turned into a 9 hour All-​You-​Can-​Drink music fest on Charles Allen, across from Piedmont Park.
**This is not a free festival.*** You pay for a ticket, get an armband, and go into the fenced in area which is mainly pavement. Keep in mind you will be standing on this pavement the whole time which can get rather hot since the fest is normally in the early summer. Bands play all afternoon and evening and you get unlimited cheap beer and food.
**All profits from the festival go to charity.**
If you like drinking a lot of beer and listening to music in the sun then you will enjoy this festival. If you like walking around looking at things you might want to avoid. I have always enjoyed it to the point of having to take the rest of the night off. Don’t be like me; pace yourself.
FYI: The free food doesn’t last long so make sure to cause a minor stampede once you see the free food being put out. Last year the food was from Moe’s
