Magic City Sip & Savor builds on the spirit of an event longtime attendees may remember as Magic City Brewfest, expanding its focus to include a broader range of beverages, food, music, and maker experiences while continuing to celebrate DWNTWN Muncie’s craft and creative community.

Magic City Sip & Savor is more than a tasting event — it is a celebration of local talent, creativity, and community spirit.
