Have you heard of the biggest barbecue and beer festival in St. Petersburg, Florida? The 5th Annual St. Pete Beer, Bacon & BBQ Festival is back in 2022 and is set to take place on January 15th at Vinoy Park. The festival will make its home in the heart of Downtown St. Pete, right at the locally renowned Vinoy Park, where attendees will sample over 50 bacon, burger, and barbecue dishes as well as sip on their favorite local beer and craft cocktails.
This annual event will be host to several local restauranteurs and vendors crafting dozens of bacon and barbecue dishes for all guests to enjoy, local breweries and distilleries offering delicious craft beer and cocktails, live music from top rockin bands like Soul Circus Cowboys, games, prizes, and tons of fun.
What does a ticket get you?
There are a few ticket options this year so everyone attending can pick the best option for them. You can check out the ticket options below but I suggest going for the Boss Hog Plus ticket as it comes with five 5oz cocktails, one 12oz craft beer, and access to the Boss Hog area food vendors.
You have to be 21 and up to purchase a Boss Hog ticket but kids 10 and under are FREE. If you get a GA ticket and get hungry, don't worry, there will be food available for purchase from over 20 plus food vendors. For those thinking of bringing their furry friends, dogs are allowed, but they must be leashed, hydrated, and cleaned up after.
Vinoy Park is located at 701 Bayshore Drive NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33701. The event now takes place over 2 days and has a slightly different schedule for both days. You can check out the plans for each day below or click their Schedule page to see exact set times and optional beer releases.
A portion of the proceeds also goes to benefit HOOAH, a 100% Volunteer National Veteran Nonprofit. Founded in 2011, Helping Out Our America Heroes supports all branches of the military so you know this event goes towards helping a charitable cause.
Don't miss out on St. Pete, Beer, Bacon & BBQ Festival 2022 set for January 15th at Vinoy Park. Downtown St. Pete's best event really shows what good barbecue and beer looks like.
