The hardest hitting charity facial hair competition in the land!

We will be raising money to support the University High School FFA Program.

Come show off your best beard and mustache to support victims of Domestic Violence through the Mary Kay Ash foundation.

We are soaking our feet and taking a break from another fantastic show! But save the date for next year!

Whether you've been growing it for years or just a few months, now is the time to let your beard shine. We'll have several categories, so there's a place for every style and size.

We all know folks who could grow a full beard by 16 (you should have seen my sister!), so be sure to have your valid, government-issued, up-to-date, photo ID on you. We won't let you in unless you're 21 and you can prove it to the man with your photo ID! Please note, while we love tiny lumberjacks and four-footed, furry ones, this festival is not the place for them, but they're welcome to watch the events from outside of the fence!

Our charity will be FLOC (For Love of Children - Dayton)) which has been the charity for the past events.

The festivities will be held in and around the West Plains Civic Center. While some things, such as games and displays, will be scheduled inside, the music and vendors will be outside, along with some of the other activities. But in the event of inclement weather, activities can be moved inside.

Live music, food options, vendors and a baseball game with RBC Alabama and The Miracle League of Shelby County.
