About 40 years ago - before Rotary International declared its bold ambition to immunize all the world's children against polio - the disease was responsible for paralysing more than 1000 children across 125 countries every day. 1000 children. 125 countries. EVERY DAY!

Since then, more than 3 billion children have been immunized against polio, and because of that today the wild polio virus is a persistent threat in just two countries - Afghanistan and Pakistan - where 39 children have suffered paralysis due to polio infection so far this year. A lot less than 1000 per day, but still too many!

The finish line is in sight, and you can help Rotary cross it.

A big thank you to everyone who supported Keweenaw Brewfest in one way or another! We couldn't have done it without tons of help from the City of Houghton, our financial sponsors, our wonderful distributors, and the tireless volunteers who put the FUN in fundraiser! Cheers to another successful event. Now let's start planning for 2027! What would you like to see at the next one?

Brewfest Parking
Let's be real - the best option is to get a ride!
But if you need a place to park, make sure to aim for one of the green-shaded areas on the map. Although overnight street parking is banned, overnight parking should not be ticketed if you obey all posted signage and park in a designated lot. This might come in handy if you responsibly need to retrieve your car at a later time. We want everyone to have a SAFE and FUN event so please arrange a ride in advance or save a ride share or taxi number in your phone. Designated drivers can buy a wristband for $20 and enjoy the band REWIND and access to The Bagel Lady's epic sandwiches. Learn more at www.KeweenawBrewfest.org
