Heads up: Landmark events

By

A pair of weekend festivals at historic locales, with, yes, music …

beer tapsPour it on: Get sloshed at Sloss, or at least, go for a multi-beer buzz. The Magic City Brewfest has returned for a second outing, with dozens of varieties available for sampling. The music lineup includes Blue Moon, Highwater and HoneyBaked. Tickets are $7 (everything a la carte), or $22 and $32 in advance, $30 and $40 at the gate. 7-11 p.m. Saturday and 3-7 p.m. Sunday at Sloss Furnaces.

Way over the hill: The city’s original Iron Man turns 104, and you can celebrate at the Vulcan Birthday Bash. Sarah Green will perform, and artist Lonnie Holley will help you make your own sandstone sculpture. Tickets are $3 for age 5 and older and includes free ice cream and Cokes and elevator rides to the observation platform (if you haven’t been since the remodeling, you are missing out). 1-4 p.m. Sunday at Vulcan Park.
