30A BBQ Festival


Event Description

Join us for the 30A BBQ FESTIVAL presented by 360 Blue on Friday, November 7, 2025 at Grand Boulevard in Miramar Beach to celebrate 10 years of The Sonder Project!

This year's 30A BBQ Festival is coming 10 times hotter than ever, with various 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 at this year’s event include 3 Sons BBQ, Auston’s Oyster Bar and Grill, Back Beach Barbecue, Cajun Corner, Cinders and Salt, Evie Mae's Barbecue, Local Smoke at The Big Chill, Moe's Original BBQ, Sons of Amvets Post 29, Swiftly Catered, Uncle KÜ's BBKÜ, The Village Door, Vin'tij Food and Wine, and more.

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, a silent auction, and a variety of refreshments from local purveyors including craft brews from Grayton Beer Company, wine from The 30A Company, soda, and water.

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 2025. Our BBQ will be smokin’, but the tickets are already hot! Grab yours before they’re gone!

  • General Admission tickets ($60 Advance) include all-you-can-eat BBQ plus unlimited beer and wine for those 21+
  • Kids 12 and under are admitted free
  • VIP Tickets ($125 Advance ) include all of the benefits of General Admission, plus access to an exclusive VIP area that includes complimentary dessert, a special gift upon entry, an exclusive VIP photo booth, and an open bar with cocktails, wine, and beer.
