Hosted By: Appalachian Bearded Mafia

Welcome back to Ashland, O-H-I-O!

Here we GROW again!

The Appalachian Bearded Mafia is proud to return for the 2nd Annual Beards On Main as we take over Downtown Ashland OH for an unforgettable day filled with family, community, horsepower, entertainment, and of course… some of the best facial hair walking around the country.

What started as an idea I had when I moved here back in 2023 has grown into something bigger than we ever imagined.

For the 2nd year, we are shutting down Main Street and filling Downtown Ashland with 14 blocks of classic cars, trucks, and motorcycles!

Last year, we packed the streets with 218 classic vehicles and motorcycles… and then decided:

“Why not throw a Beard Competition and Pin-Up Pageant smack dab in the middle of all this fun?”

And that’s exactly what we did!

Now Beards On Main has become an event that brings multiple communities together for one purpose…

Making a difference.

This isn’t just a beard competition.

This is a ‘EXPERIENCE’!

End of Summer Main Street Bash!

One street.
One community.
One mission.

Get ready for a full day featuring:

~ Classic Car Show
~ Motorcycle Show
~ Beards On Main Beard, Mustache & Whiskerina Competition
~ Miss Main Street Pin-Up Pageant
~ Live Entertainment

Along with:

• 88.9 WRDL Radio
• Vendors
• Kids Zone
• Downtown shops Open
• Local restaurants Open
• And an entire community coming together!

Downtown Ashland will be alive with horsepower, music, families, competitors, and memories being made.

Now the question is…

Who will walk away with bragging rights?

Will it be an Ashland local?

Will Ohio defend home turf?

Or will another state roll into town and take home the title of…

But the most important reason we gather is much bigger than trophies…

This year, Beards On Main is proud to raise awareness and support for families impacted by Niemann-Pick Disease.

Niemann-Pick Disease is a rare genetic condition that affects families in many different ways. Some forms impact children early in life, while others progress differently over time.

Behind every diagnosis is…

A family.
A story.
A fight.

Our mission is to stand beside those families, raise awareness, and remind them they are not fighting alone.

Because at Appalachian Bearded Mafia, our purpose has never been measured by the length of a beard or the size of a trophy…

It’s measured by the lives we touch along the way.

So come join us in…

Ashland, O-H-I-O!!

~ Bring the beard you may win trophies.
~ Bring a hot rod you may win trophies.
~ Bring a motorcycle you may win trophies.
~ Bring the family make the memories.

Come for the beards… stay for the fun!
