Pints N’ Paws livens up downtown Sanford with refreshing suds and intoxicatingly cute pups

Pints N’ Paws, the pet-friendly craft beer festival in Sanford, is back for a 12th year, slinging suds and lending a helping paw to pups at local animal shelters and rescues.

Pints N’ Paws assembles local craft breweries and artisans for a great big paw-ty in downtown Sanford (a place never averse to a good bash). This year, organizers have lined up over 100 breweries, vendors, food trucks and live entertainment, with proceeds going to care for animals in need and finding them their furever homes.

There will be activities and fun for all attendees, both canine and human, including a Poster Dog Contest, where folks can enter their pups to be considered as the face of next year’s event poster.

Noon Saturday, March 29, pintsandpaws.com, free-$90.
