A popular, weekend-long food festival returns to The ‘Burg in January, and it seems like organizers always make it a point to do it bigger each year.
The 2024 Bacon & BBQ Festival returns to Vinoy Park ( 701 Bayshore Dr. NE ) on Jan. 13 and 14 from noon-10 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m.-9 p.m. on Sunday.
Not only a food festival packed with dozens of local vendors, restaurants and food trucks, this annual event also features a stacked lineup of live music both days. Just a few of the Bacon & BBQ Festival’s bands include Tropidelic, The New Rulers, Taylor Jansen Trio, Seranation, The Sub Herb and Neverless.
In addition to its live music lineup, annual BBQ competition, games and prizes, 2024’s festival will feature over 25 food vendors slinging over 100 barbecue and bacon-focused dishes, from smoky brisket and fall-off-the-bone ribs to cheeseburgers and perhaps a few savory-inspired desserts.
General admission tickets for each day of the festival run for $15 each and can be purchased on stpetebaconandbbq.com. Folks looking to spend a little more cash can also opt for its $79 “Boss Hog” admission which includes various BBQ, beer and cocktail samples, prime seating for live music and access to a private dining tent, or its $100+ VIP passes which include all of those perks and then some.
Kids ages 12 and under can attend the festival for free.
The Bacon & BBQ Festival's full food vendor lineup can be browsed on its website and includes Florida-based businesses like Just Smokin’ BBQ, City Wings 305, The Bacon Boss, Kurt’s Sausages and Creative Coastal Cuisine among many others.
