Get Ready for the Royal Treatment: King's Plate is Back Thursday!
While Oktoberfests are a dime a dozen this time of year, King of Prussia District’s award-winning KOP Beerfest Royale, presented by Budget Maintenance, is in a class of its own. The two-day event kicks off with King’s Plate, a royal food and craft beer celebration and culinary competition that draws a crowd of 1,100 people each year to grand tents in the KOP Mall parking lot. A limited number of tickets remain for King’s Plate, which has built up a reputation over the past 10 years as a “must do” event for food and beer lovers alike.
