Mark your calendars for March 11-13, 2022, because the 2nd Annual Buggin’ Out Festival is coming back to The Island Resort At Fort Walton Beach.

Buggin’ Out is a weekend full of vintage cars, poolside fun, live music, and more!

On Friday, March 11, festival guests are invited to a pool party at the grotto pool, with drink specials, a live DJ, as well as other events around the property.

Saturday, March 12, is the main event! From 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., more than 60 vintage cars will be on display, along with live music, local vendor booths, groovy cocktails, kids activities and more.

Attendance for Saturday’s festivities is free for the public and resort guests. All vintage vehicles are welcome in the car show, but only Volkswagen buses and bugs will be judged and eligible for awards.

All vehicles must be registered in advance, as space is limited and on a first come, first served basis.
Vehicles can be registered here.
