August 21st, 5pm - 10pm
This year at Uptown Untapped, we are celebrating Westerville's role in the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, Prohibition. 2020 was the 100th anniversary of Prohibition, but just like alcohol in 1920, gatherings in 2020 were not allowed! Now, one year later, we gather and celebrate "Uptown Untapped: The Prohibition Edition" (Hey, Prohibition lasted 13 years, so we are doing well!). The event will feature local craft breweries, musicians and bands, Uptown eateries, gluten free drink choices and more!

Thank you to Uptown Untapped Community Sponsor:

Uptown Untapped is Westerville’s first-ever beer craft festival, recognizing both the city’s rich history as a hub for the temperance movement and celebrating its bright future in the heart of the city’s unique Uptown district. No longer classified as “The Dry Capital of the World,” Uptown Untapped touts local breweries, restaurants and musicians on the same streets that once connected the Anti-Saloon League with the rest of the country. 

​Join residents, visitors and historians as we usher in the new Westerville tradition, now in its third year! ​
