Belltober

Bell Tower will host the BellTober Beer Festival on Friday, Oct. 6, from 6 to 9 p.m. centerwide. Bell Tower is at the northeast corner of Daniels Parkway and US 41 in Fort Myers.

In addition, there will be live performances, games, vendors, a themed photo booth and other fall-themed photo ops, and even a mac-n-cheese contest where everyone’s favorite Bell Tower restaurants – including Burntwood Tavern, Dave & Buster’s, Blue Pointe Oyster Bar & Seafood Grill and McGregor’s Public House – will compete to win a “golden pumpkin.” Attendees will be able to sample each restaurant’s mac creation (while supplies last) and vote for their favorite. The winning restaurant will be announced at the end of the event.

During the event, there will be a cigar lounge provided by Stogie Pairing and axe-throwing courtesy of Chuck it Axes. Popular local radio personalities will be broadcasting live from the event, and each guest will receive a commemorative mini beer mug at the gate.

A ticket is required to attend. To purchase a ticket in advance, visit unitedwaylee.org/events/belltober. Tickets purchased online prior to the event are $30; tickets purchased at the gate on Oct. 6 will cost $40. Proceeds from the event will benefit the United Way of Lee, Hendry, and Glades, a volunteer organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for all people in the community. Alcohol will be strictly limited to those over 21 years of age with valid ID. To learn more, visit belltowerfl.com.
