3 for 30a- Beer, Wine and Family Time!!!
Story By Natalie Haddock
This weekend 30A is getting into the spirit of the fall season and that doesn’t just mean the ghouls and ghosts of Halloween. Save your “boo’s” for the holiday and come out for booze instead. Events are lined up for both the beer lover and the wine connoisseur that are sure to thrill; but drinks aren’t the only treats out there, you know. There’s plenty of good food and fun for the whole family too. So, if you’ve got a hankering for flavors instead of fright this weekend, put down the ghostly decorations and check out these events around 30A.
Friday, October 16 – Baytowne Wharf Beer Fest kicks off this weekend with Beer Bingo on Friday night. Come out to win prizes, listen to live music, and sample American specialty beers from around the nation.

Food trucks on site will include Sweet Henrietta’s, The Hub, Long Leaf Mobile, and Ticheli’s Italian Pizza. A portion of the food truck proceeds will benefit CVHN so be sure to come hungry!
