BBQ Lovefest Joining National Meat Day Event
The Festival is more than a good time, it’s a philanthropic event
that supports local and national foundations that do good.
The 3rd Annual BBQ Love Fest energy will now be joining the National Meat Day Event March 28th, 2026! This family-friendly festival brings together more than 20 cook teams—from local and national restaurants to backyard pitmasters—for a sizzling competition of flavor and fun. Guests can enjoy unlimited BBQ samples, a pitmaster showcase, raffles, and entertainment throughout the day.
But beyond the smoke and sauce, Peace Love & BBQ is about giving back. Each year, proceeds from tickets, raffles, and sponsorships benefit worthy causes including FARA, Operation BBQ Relief, Special Operations Memorial Foundation and Feeding Tampa Bay. By coming together over good food and good company, the festival turns every bite into a chance to make a difference.
