Tampa Bay Barbecue Festival & Competition is a smoke-filled celebration of Florida flavor, where pitmasters, local bands, cold beer, and backyard competition collide at Vinoy Park in St. Pete.

More than just a food festival, we’re putting on a full-on BBQ experience. From slow-smoked brisket to crispy bacon burgers, live mural art to eating contests, every corner of the festival delivers bold flavor and Southern grit.

We’re loud. We’re smoky. We’re unapologetically messy.
And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
