Every two years, the owners of the world's most elaborate facial hair come together for the World Beard and Moustache Championships. On May 23, 2009, the championships will be in Anchorage at the Dena'ina Civic & Convention Center. Before the competition, the contestants will parade across the Anchorage Market and Festival TREX Stage and throughout the Market; we expect over 100 contestants to show up. The preview will begin at 12:30PM.
