Bruegala is BACK, but this year it’s BIGGER and BADDER than before!
Join us for a fun & frightful evening of family-friendly activities 3-6pm and spookier, adult fun from 6-9pm as we sip on bubbly brews from dozens of breweries & wineries, jam out to live music in the moonlight, and sink our teeth into food truck eats in Museum square, Downtown Bloomington, IL.
Bruegala focuses on giving back to Bloomington-Normal by hosting a fun, annual event that brings the community together. This event is completely run by volunteers through the Bloomington-Normal Jaycees and has raised over $275,000 for local organizations over the past 25 years. Proceeds this year will benefit:
***Providing Access to Help (PATH)
Funds raised will support PATH Pals, a suicide prevention puppet show initiative provided at no cost to schools throughout McLean County. This program is designed to promote early intervention and reduce stigma around mental health by providing education is a way that is accessible, supportive, and developmentally appropriate.
