BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - Back in September of last year, White Squirrel Brewery reopened their doors to the public, and now they’re collaborating with Kentucky NORML to bring “420 Music Fest” to Bowling Green.

Sean Stevens, Co-Owner of White Squirrel Brewery, said he instantly hit it off with Kentucky NORML deputy director Lauren Bratcher and was ready to help with any of her ideas.

“I’ve got a perfect space for stuff like this, we’ve got the stage and got plenty of room,” Stevens said. “It just fit her ideas, the space fit our ideas, and we just work together well.”

When Bratcher brought up the idea of gathering creatives from around the area, Stevens had just the spot.

“We’re going to have a full lineup of bands all day, we’re gonna have vendors all day, food trucks, it’s just gonna be a good day,” Stevens said.

Thus, the “420 Music Fest” was born. While the name may raise an eyebrow for some, Stevens assured the focus won’t be on marijuana.

“It’s just focused on alternative art, good music, good beer, good food. It’s just to celebrate the day. It’s family friendly, it’s everything.”

Stevens added that the White Squirrel Brewery is always looking for new local entities to collaborate with and bring different energies to the brewery itself.

“We collaborate with all kinds of different people. It brings a different style, every sector, it finds a lot of people.”

The festival occurs on April 20 at White Squirrel Brewery, from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Details are limited at this time, but those interested are encouraged to follow along on the Kentucky NORML website or Facebook event page.

The event is also still looking for various vendors, interested parties are asked to email yallternativeevents@gmail.com.
