Sunday, May 24, 2026

The smoke keeps rolling on Sunday at the Tampa Bay Barbecue Festival & Competition as the waterfront celebration returns to Vinoy Park for another full day of barbecue, live music, craft drinks, art, and community fun from 1:00 PM – 9:00 PM.

Sunday’s music lineup features Blackberry Smoke, Graham Barham, Fox N’ Vead, and Luke Borchelt, bringing a mix of southern rock, country, and live festival energy to close out the weekend.

Guests can continue exploring barbecue from Florida’s top pitmasters and food vendors while enjoying slow-smoked meats, stacked sampler platters, craft beers, cocktails, sweet treats, and local favorites throughout the festival grounds.

Sunday also brings the exciting conclusion of the BBQ Competition, where winners for Grand Champion and category placements will be announced live on the main stage between performances. Attendees can still participate in the People’s Choice voting and support their favorite barbecue teams throughout the day.

Festival highlights include:
• Live music all day on the main stage
• Real-time mural painting and live artists
• Craft beer & cocktails
• Cornhole, games, and festival activities
• Food vendors and barbecue samplers
• Waterfront atmosphere in the heart of Downtown St. Pete
