3 for 30a – Craft Beer, Bloody Marys and Jazz!

Thankfully it appears some cooler temps are on the way to our area. With that, tis the season for craft beer and food festivals here in South Walton. This weekend is one of the better weekends for the avid festival enthusiast.

Friday September 30th –

The 30a Craft Beer & Spirits Festival kicks off Friday evening at Gulf Place. Gates open at 6PM and the fun runs until 9PM. You be the judge…literally! The Craft Cocktail competition is voted on by guests as they enjoy live music from local favorite Heritage. Local restaurants will be serving up small bites throughout the evening. Can’t make it Friday? The event also runs from 2PM-5PM on Saturday as well. Come enjoy music from the “Dead 27s” from Charleston, South Carolina. Choose from over 100 craft beers and spirits at the Saturday event, and don’t forget, 100% of the proceeds benefit the Seaside School Foundation. A few tickets are still available for both events.
