We have our event at the home of "Terror on the Coast", one of the largest haunted houses with props from the big screen movie sets. Our event is one of the Gulf Coast's favorites and we are working on growing into a multi-day event. We have over 30 breweries, over 90 brews, home brews and over 15 restaurants, food trucks on site sharing tastings for People's Choice Awards. The Gulf Coast Beer and Bacon Festival is heading into year 4 and has been sold out each year.

Proceeds from the festival not only benefit Paramount's urban farm, environmental education, and summer S.T.E.A.M (Success Through Education Agriculture and Mentoring) programs, but they also support annual partners in the Perfect Bite Competition. The agenda also includes sessions on urban farming, food preservation, healthy cooking, and lifestyle. Planned activities include workshops, demonstrations, information booths, food competitions, a children’s area, and food vendors. Held on the grounds of a Paramount Schools of Excellence farm, the festival is a natural outgrowth of the work being done at the school in urban farming, ecology, green initiatives, food sports, and community outreach. The TURN Festival, Transforming Urban Neighborhoods, is a two-day educational and community-building event presented by Paramount Schools of Excellence, in partnership with Keystone Construction, focused on urban farming, food, the environment, and health.
