About this festival

Following the incredible success and popularity of last year’s event, we’re excited to bring the festival back - bigger and better, while keeping the same spirit and format that made the first one so special.

Indie-Baum 2 remains a celebration of independent breweries, great beer, community spirit, and local arts. It continues to be a collaborative effort between Wakey Wakey Brew Co., The Baum, and St. Mary in the Baum Church, bringing together the best of independent brewing and grassroots creativity.

The response to the first Indie-Baum was fantastic, with strong support from breweries, performers, and festivalgoers alike. Because of that success, Indie-Baum 2 will keep the same core approach - independent breweries running their own bars, a welcoming community atmosphere, and a mix of beer, music, and local culture. The difference this year is simple: more of everything.

Expect more breweries, more live music, and hopefully even more people through the doors, all while keeping the independent, community-focused feel that made the first festival such a hit.

Indie-Baum 2 is more than just a beer festival - it’s a community-driven, not-for-profit event dedicated to supporting small independent brewers, local businesses, and charitable causes. The festival is hosted at St. Mary in the Baum Church, and a portion of all proceeds will go towards maintaining and supporting the church’s role in the community.

Our goal remains the same: to create a unique beer festival that highlights the very best of local and regional breweries, offering a diverse selection of styles and experiences. Indie-Baum 2 is all about independence, inclusivity, and quality - so we invite you to bring your best! 🍻
