The 4th annual Dorchester Bike & Brew will take place on Sat., Sept. 21, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Peabody Square. The event, which is co-sponsored by Greater Ashmont Main Streets, MassBike, Dorchester Brewing Company, Mayor Martin Walsh, and the Dorchester Reporter, is a family-friendly community festival designed to showcase the growing cycling community in Dorchester.

This year’s event will feature food trucks, a DBCo beer garden with craft brews, cider, and wine, the Boston Water and Sewer Commission H2Go trailer, and the Boston Police Department’s Operation Hoodsie ice cream truck. There will also be several bike advocacy and social groups tabling, a “bike rodeo” for kids, Ashmont Farmers Market lawn games, and live music. Food options will include Farm Girl Food Truck, Tacos Don Beto, and Drifter Food Truck, while the live music will come courtesy of The Tomohiro Mori Band and The Ray Liriano Experience.

Greater Ashmont Main Streets executive director Jenn Cartee told the Reporter that this year’s format will be “looser” than in previous iterations.

“With the city’s co-sponsorship we have resources to make the entire street the designated beer garden area, so there will be more freedom of movement, and more of an ability to wander around in the area,” she said. 

The event will be held on Talbot Avenue between Dorchester Avenue and Welles Avenue, a block that will be closed to vehicular traffic. The event is free and open to the public.
