On Saturday, November 10 and Sunday, November 11, Driftwood Country Music, Craft Beer & BBQ Festival returns to Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, CA for its 3rd annual Veterans Day Weekend celebration. Presented by Go Country 105, this all ages event will feature music from some of today's top country acts including Chase Rice, Big & Rich, Michael Ray, Kristian Bush (of Sugarland), Carly Pearce, and more, plus tastings from a selection of over 200 craft beers, and top-notch BBQ from some of the region's best restaurants and food trucks.

Produced by premier music festival production company Synergy Global Entertainment (SGE) and California's most successful and respected craft beer festival producer Brew Ha Ha Productions, Go Country 105 Presents Driftwood Country Music, Craft Beer & BBQ Festival offers a weekend of entertainment for the whole family. Driftwood will feature line dancing workshops, mechanical bull rides, oversized games including Beer Pong and Giant Jenga, lounge seating, photo ops, and much more. Festival attendees will be able to roam throughout the lush grass and sandy areas of Doheny State Beach, right off the shore of the Pacific Ocean.

Chase Rice says, "There's nothing like a fall night out at a music festival. Last time we played the Driftwood festival out in Dana Point, the fans were incredible, and there to take it all in—not just the hits, they knew the album cuts. When we make music it's with moments like that in mind. We can't wait to see y'all again."
