IT’S TIME TO GET FIRED UP FOR THE BBQ EVENT OF THE YEAR!


Join us for the fifth edition of the 30A BBQ FESTIVAL, presented by 360 Blue, on Friday, November 8, 2024 at Grand Boulevard in Miramar Beach! All proceeds will benefit The Sonder Project, a local non-profit with global impact.


This year's 30A BBQ Festival is coming in hotter than ever, with 16 local BBQ vendors firing up their grills for another smokin’ good time at Grand Boulevard with even more mouthwatering BBQ, toe-tapping tunes, and saucy surprises to keep you coming back for more.

Restaurants and pitmasters confirmed to compete include 3 Sons BBQ, Back Beach Barbecue, Cinders and Salt, Dickey's Barbecue Pit, Evie Mae's Barbecuear, Harry T's, Local Smoke at The Big Chill, Marrow Private Chefs, Moe's BBQ, The Perfect Pig, The Salty Butcher, Son's of Amvets Post 29, Swiftly Catered, Uncle KU's BarbeKU, Vin'tij Food and Wine, and Watersound Beach Club.

From 5-8 pm enjoy all-you-can-eat barbecue, served up by the best grill masters along the Emerald Coast as they compete for the trophy for '30A's Best BBQ' voted by you! In between bites, enjoy live music by RIVER DAN, a photo booth sponsored by Esteem Wealth Partners, and a variety of refreshments from local purveyors including craft brews from Grayton Beer Company, wine, and water courtesy of Grand Boulevard Arts and Entertainment.


We know you’re already drooling, so don’t wait! Last year’s festival was a sell-out, and you won’t want to miss what we’ve got in store for 2024. Our BBQ will be smokin’, but the tickets are already hot! Grab yours before they’re gone!
