Local restaurants and pitmasters compete for the title of 30A's best BBQ while guests sample every entry and vote for a winner. General admission covers all you can eat barbecue plus unlimited beer and wine for guests 21 and older. Live music, a photo booth and a silent auction round out the evening, which benefits The Sonder Project.
