Welcome Parties & Hangover Brunch!
Join us Thursday, September 19 at 6pm!
Welcome to the extraordinary world of facial hair captured through the lens of acclaimed photographer Eric Perry from the annual event “The Circus of Whiskers”. Step into the mesmerizing realm of the "Whiskered Wonders: Unveiling the Marvels of Facial Follicles," a captivating photography exhibit that serves as the official welcome party for the highly anticipated 2024 Great American Beard and Moustache Championship presented by Honest Amish.
Prepare to be enthralled as you embark on a visual journey celebrating the artistry and diversity of facial hair. Eric Perry's exceptional talent shines through as he showcases an array of eccentric, whimsical, and awe-inspiring facial hair styles. From meticulously groomed handlebar mustaches to flamboyant beards that defy gravity, each photograph encapsulates the unique personality and creativity of its subject.
Following the show we will wonder on over to Barcade just up the block to continue the party with Video Games, Drinks, and Food!
