Organizers of Mesa Fest, a music, arts, and craft beer festival in Yucca Mesa, say this year’s festival, set for September 21, will be better than ever. Five local bands will play throughout the day, from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Craft beers at the Mesa Fest are all locally brewed; there will be more than 30 beers on tap. Beer packages are $40 until September 20, and $45 at the door. Mesa Fest has room for 60 vendors, who will be selling everything from art, food, kids activities, and retail goods. Sponsors are still being sought for Mesa Fest. To reserve a vendor space, or to be a sponsor, call 760-820-3125.
