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.

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.
