Foreman “cut his teeth” in the festival business back at the tender age of 21, when he started a music festival for a local Jaycee chapter. With a flair for throwing a good party coupled with a good sense of what the consumer wanted, Foreman assembled what were the humble beginnings of an event that would later become known as Harbor Fest. Harbor Fest would grow dramatically over the years drawing nearly 35,000 attendees over 3 days and featuring national headline entertainment.
What makes Foreman different from event promoters is that he couples his festival and event experience with nearly 30 years experience as a sales and marketing executive for consumer and industrial products companies. This experience gives him an extensive and well rounded business acumen for sharing with his clients. Foreman also possesses a track record of success in product development, having conceived and launched several new products during his career. Meld all of these experiences together and you get the BrewFest Partners. We have the know how for producing Beer events and Pop-up Beer Gardens
