Versailles Poultry Days
The Poultry
Days Social Tent Schedules Rocks!
Poultry Days 2016 will continue the largest party in the area with an
incredible lineup of musicians. Nine live musical acts offer
sounds ranging from familiar festival tunes, to alternative rock, to
popular country. With a Social Tent that can hold 2,000 people
you can choose to be up front by the music or at a quiet table by the
craft bar. If you want to be in the sunshine or under the stars,
table seating has been further expanded to 350.
Each year the board works to improve our festival and for 2016 we have
a few changes to announce to the social tent. The Social Tent
will continue to offer Bud Light and Busch Light. Over the winter
Poultry Days added MillerCoors products to the Social Tent and
MillerCoors is also sponsoring the tent. These beverages will be
added to our existing Anheuser-Busch products and wines from The Winery
at Versailles. Bud Light and Busch Light will be joined by Miller
Lite, Coors Light, Miller 64, Yuengling and many more. The Winery
at Versailles will be returning to the festival for the fourth year
with a selection including dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, sweet, sparkling
and more! Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Rosatto Muscatto, Rodeo Red,
Wedding White, Summer Days, Peach Mist, and sangria. Ten years
ago we offered two beverages and 5 bands in the Social Tent. In
2016 we will offer over 20 different types of beer, ale, cider, wine
and 9 bands to make your Poultry Days more enjoyable.
