Program Details & Spotlights
Celebrate Independence Day early with Southern Revere Cellars at their 4th Annual Red White & Brew Festival. This family-friendly community celebration features craft beer and estate wine, local food vendors, a vendor shopping village, and live music, culminating in a spectacular fireworks show at dark. Activities include a watermelon eating contest, flag presentation, face painting, bounce houses, and free yard games. All entry fees directly benefit veteran support causes.
For Lake Anna locals and holiday visitors alike, there is no better way to kick off the nation’s birthday than gathering at Southern Revere Cellars. Tucked away in the beautiful rolling hills of Louisa County—just a short, scenic drive from the south side of the lake—this beloved family-owned farm brewery and winery serves as the perfect backdrop for the 4th Annual Red White & Brew Festival. It is the quintessential rural Virginia summer experience, blending country charm, patriotic pride, and community spirit into one unforgettable evening.
This year’s festival turns up the heat with an incredible lineup of activities that capture the heart of a classic American summer. Before the night sky lights up, the afternoon is packed with high-energy fun. Kids can run wild in the bounce houses and get their faces painted, while adults can challenge friends to free yard games or sign up for the highly anticipated (and delightfully messy) watermelon-eating contest. The event also holds deep meaning for the local community, featuring a stirring flag presentation, with entry fees directly benefiting veteran support causes—giving you a fantastic way to give back while enjoying the holiday weekend.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Southern Revere celebration without exceptional local pours. Sip on their signature estate-grown wines or grab a cold pint of craft beer brewed right on the property. As you wander through the vendor shopping village featuring talented local makers, the air will be filled with the mouthwatering aromas of local food trucks and the sounds of live music setting the perfect summer soundtrack. Grab your spot on the lawn as twilight-fades, because Southern Revere is hosting a spectacular fireworks show at dark that will light up the Louisa countryside.
