A Frankenmuth tradition
BREWED FOR SOMETHING BIGGER.
A good weekend can leave a lasting mark. Meet the Frankenmuth volunteers who bring people together over beer and turn festival proceeds into support for charitable causes.
Our story
One weekend.
A community of good.
World Expo of Beer is organized by the Frankenmuth Jaycees, a local volunteer organization that brings people together through community projects and fundraisers.
Each May, friends meet at Heritage Park, tasting mugs in hand, ready to find a new favorite. Locals know the festival as WEB. Volunteers make it happen, from the first tent stake to the last table packed away. Each year’s producers and selections are announced ahead of the event.
You do not need to be a Jaycee or a beer expert to belong here. Guests 21 and older are welcome, and volunteers can help at the tasting booths, at admissions, and behind the scenes. Every role helps make the festival and its charitable giving possible.
