The event, for ages 21 and up, takes its name from Wekiva Island’s craft beer and wine bar, The Tooting Otter, which in turn pays homage to the attraction’s beautiful riverside location and its natural inhabitants.
Admission to Otter Fest gives guests the chance to meet representatives from the breweries, learn about the beers and brewing, grab freebies, and of course, sample countless options.
