There are a couple of events coming up, you may want to get tickets for. First is the 11th Annual International Beer Festival, August 23, 2008. I haven’t made it to this event myself, but have heard from several others that it is a great time. 75 different beers in 25 downtown bars, but get you tickets soon, until Friday they are $17, after that, they’re $20. The second exciting event is the 14th Annual Bayfest Music Festival. Taking place October 3-5, 2008 it is set to feature acts like Avenged Sevenfold, Blake Shelton, Buckcherry, Eric Church, Puddle of Mudd, Rodney Atkins, Saving Able, The O’Jays and the Stylistics. Advance tickets are only $35 for all three days. I’ll post more as additional acts are added to the line up.
