The most delicious event of the year, the Gulf Coast Beer and Bacon Festival, is quickly approaching, and you don’t want to miss it. Since its inception, it’s only gotten bigger, better, and tastier. More specifically, it’s grown to include chocolate, in addition to beer and bacon.

The 2022 Gulf Coast Beer and Bacon Festival is slated to take place on March 5 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Hollywood Warehouse in Gulfport.
