How much money can I plan on spending?
I get asked this every year, and every year it's a tough question to answer. I've seen people get by with no more than a couple hundred dollars for the entire weekend, and others need much more. A lot of it has to do with how far you are coming from and what your personal spending habits are. With that in mind, I can offer some suggestions and reminders for your planning:
  • Your lunch on Saturday will be covered by the cookout
  • Use your gas mileage calculations to buy gas cards before the event
  • Over-plan for gas usage. Gas tends to get used faster when we are in large groups.
  • Consider sharing a room if you're on a tight budget. A great way to make new friends!
  • Do you want any souvenirs?
  • Don't forget money for a T-shirt
Not counting your hotel room and gas money, most people tend to bring $150-$300 to cover the rest of the weekend like food, souvenirs, etc. I'll add more suggestions as I think of them. Email me if you have any questions.


My Beretta is a clunker. Can I still attend?
Of course! In fact, it's encouraged. Most everyone's cars are daily drivers and are not in immaculate condition.


I don't own a Beretta. Can I still attend?
Do you have a legitimate reason to want to go? Sometimes former Beretta owners sell their cars, sometimes a member's Beretta is down for repairs, and sometimes non-owners spend a lot of time with Beretta owners and start to feel like part of the family. These are all good reasons to attend Bfest. Basically, if you have a sincere interest in attending then we would love to have you join us!
