Description

Club-214 Land & Sea is proud to present our first Military Veteran BBQ Competition and Community Festival, bringing together veterans, families, and the Tampa Bay community for a day of great food, live music, and camaraderie. This family-friendly event will take place at Pop Stansell Park in Palm Harbor and will feature ten military veteran organizations competing to see who has the best barbecue. Attendees will enjoy a live band, local vendors, a car show, and the opportunity to support organizations that serve our nation’s veterans. Each competing organization will be provided with a grill, charcoal, and protein, with teams showcasing their own seasonings, sauces, and sides. Celebrity guest judges and judges from local barbecue restaurants will help determine the winners. Community members and veterans are invited to participate as tasters for $10, which allows them to sample barbecue from all ten competition teams and vote for their favorite. Proceeds from the event support Club-214 Land & Sea’s year-round veteran programs, including mental health initiatives, transition assistance, job placement, and community outreach. Whether you’re competing, tasting, shopping local vendors, or just enjoying the day with family and friends, this event is a great way to support veterans while enjoying some of the best barbecue Tampa Bay has to offer.
