May 7, 2024 by SoWal Staff
The Second Annual 30A Foam Fest, presented by Idyll Hound Proper and 30Avenue, will be held on Saturday, May 11 from 2-6 p.m. at 30Avenue with proceeds benefiting Neurodiversity Resource of the Panhandle.
The coastal shopping center in Inlet Beach will be transformed into the ultimate event space with rows of tents along the center loop filled with southeastern breweries, including Beach Camp Brewing Co., Grayton Beer Company, Idyll Hounds Brewing Company, Odd Pelican Beer Company, Parish Brewing Co., Perfect Plain Brewing Co., Pirate City Brewing, Proof Brewing Co., Props Craft Brewery, Sandestin Spirits, Urban South Brewery, Wood Foot Beer Company, and more, each showcasing and pouring their unique beers. Ticket holders will receive a tasting mug upon entry that they’ll be able to refill throughout the afternoon and sample all the various beers.
New this year, all event goers will have access to complimentary cuisine from various 30Avenue merchants and restaurants, including Aja Elevated Kitchen, amici 30A Italian Kitchen, amigos 30A Mexican Kitchen, Canopy Road Café, Goatfeathers, Great American Cookies, Idyll Hound Proper, and Marble Slab Creamery. For those not interested in sampling beer, there will also be complimentary sips of wine and champagne from Good Clean Wine and Elite Worldwide Imports, canned cocktails from Birdie Cocktails, and seltzer from Palm Folly offered this year.
Local musician, CHXNDLER, will kick off the festival on the mainstage followed by popular, New Orleans-based band, Flow Tribe, who will be returning to the festival for the second year as the main act, sponsored by Gulf Goldring. There will be additional entertainment throughout the festival including an interactive photo booth, courtesy of Clear Title and Escrow, along with a Fore 30A golf simulator presented by Birdie Cocktails and a Steinholding Competition courtesy of presenting brewery, Idyll Hounds Brewing Company. Steins can be purchased in advance for $15 or on the day of the event for $25. Visit FoamFest30A.com to learn more.
There will be a new VIP Experience added to the second annual event, kicking off on Friday, May 10 with an exclusive brewery tour at Idyll Hounds Brewing Company, followed by an intimate private dinner under the stars at 30Avenue. Presenting sponsor, Idyll Hound Proper, will be catering the elegant affair while guests enjoy live music from three Nashville singer-songwriters, including Andy Albert, Kelly Archer, and Adam Hambrick. VIP ticket holders will also gain early access to the festival on Saturday, a custom hat, and all the same perks as general admission. A limited number of VIP tickets are on sale for $125 per person and can be purchased at FoamFest30A.com.
“After last year’s success, we wanted to expand the 30A Foam Fest experience with a VIP option for those looking to learn more about the beers, experience a more intimate setting with these brew masters, and really immerse themselves into the process of creating specialty brews,” said Lance Stokes, founder of 30A Foam Fest. “Of course, it’s also for those that want to extend the festival experience and indulge in amazing food, listen to music from talented Nashville musicians, and sip on some exclusive beers that others haven’t tried yet.”
Proceeds from 30A Foam Fest will benefit Neurodiversity Resource of the Panhandle, a community-based, family focused, platform that provides programs and services based on the growing needs of families living with neurodiversity.
“We are incredibly honored to be chosen as this year's beneficiary for such a fun community event,” said Beth Roberts, founder and executive director of Neurodiversity Resource of the Panhandle. “We really appreciate the hosts and sponsors of this event recognizing our Neurodiverse community and the resources and aid we are able to provide them. Without incredible community support like this, we couldn't do what we do! We can't wait to meet those that will attend and share our mission!”
According to Neurodiversity Resource of the Panhandle, typical therapy cost is anywhere from $80 to $135 per hour, often needed multiple times a week, while diagnostics can range from $1,000 to $2,500. The organization has an online provider connection resource, community outreach with educational seminars and support groups, and lastly their financial aid portal which is currently accepting applications.
