RALEIGH, N.C. — The annual Beericana craft beer festival is Saturday at Sugg Farm Park.

Here are a few tips for attending this year's festival:

Use the app and make a plan. All breweries and their beers are loaded on the app, that way you’re not wandering around wondering what to expect. Also check out the festival map
It's a marathon, not a sprint. There's plenty of beer to go around. Take your time, run into your friends and acquaintances, enjoy the experience. It's not a race to get drunk.
Drink as much water as you can! Beericana will have 5,000 bottles of water for you and they're all FREE! Stay hydrated!
Take advantage of the food trucks. First off, you need a good base for all that beer. Plus, Beericana will have 15 delicious food trucks that typically have huge lines at rodeos.
Don't wait until it's too late to go to the bathroom. Yes, Beericana will have a ton of bathrooms, but give yourself enough time in case you have to wait a few minutes.
Wear sunscreen. Bring a hat. Maybe even a change of shirts. Trust me.
Bring a bag for schwag! Plenty of Beericana and brewery merchandise will be available for you to purchase, so bring a bag to carry what you buy.
Don’t drink and drive. Ride sharing services and taxis are more than happy to get you to and from Beericana.
