30A BBQ Festival

Bring your appetite and leave your diet at the door! The 30A BBQ Festival presented by 360 Blue is firing up the grills at Grand Boulevard on Friday, November 6, 2026, for a smoky, saucy celebration benefiting The Sonder Project.

It’s everything you love about a good 30A evening—with a whole lot more barbecue. Local restaurants and pitmasters from across the Emerald Coast will be serving up their best smoky creations as they compete for the bragging rights to “30A’s Best BBQ,” with festival guests getting the very important job of deciding who takes home the title.

From 5:30–8 p.m., come hungry and sample your way through an all-you-can-eat BBQ feast, then kick back with live music from RIVER DAN. There’s also a photo booth for capturing the good times, a silent auction, a raffle, and plenty to sip on, including craft beer from Grayton Beer Company and wine from The 30A Company.

General Admission tickets include all-you-can-eat BBQ plus unlimited beer and wine for guests 21 and older.

And a little friendly advice from the grill: don’t wait too long to grab your tickets. This popular 30A tradition has a history of selling out, and once those tickets are gone, you’ll have nothing left to do but dream about brisket.
