BREVARD COUNTY • GRANT, FLORIDA – The Grant BBQ Festival will present its cookout and fundraiser April 17 through 19.
The Grant BBQ Festival is located at 4580 1st Street in Grant, Florida.
Come join in for three awesome, event-packed days, with proceeds going to Toys for Kids, Brevard.
The three-day festival features great food and live music, the Kool Karz Classic Car and Motorcycle Show, the Backyard BBQ Contest, an Arts and Crafts Marketplace, and more.
The event was created and is managed by Timmy Vee, Brevard County DJ and radio host.
“We might just be the only BBQ Festival in town – if not, we should be!” said Vee.
A largely quaint rural town in the south end of Brevard County, the town includes older homes, newer homes on acre-plus lots, and the county-owned Habitat Golf Course, a 6,836-yard, par-72 course near the Valkaria Airport.
The town has held the Grant Seafood Festival every year on the last weekend of February since 1966.
In 1968, then-U.S. Vice President Hubert Humphrey visited the Seafood Festival while campaigning for his 1968 presidential bid.
The proceeds go toward college scholarships for Space Coast students and summer break activities for the community’s children.
The town has the historic Bensen House and the historic Jorgensen’s General Store.
The Grant Seafood Festival is powered by volunteers who make the event possible and the community, who love getting together with great food, great people, and great entertainment in support of an amazing cause.
The event will feature great food vendors, and Arts & Crafts of all kinds will be available in the marketplace.
Live music will be performed by Comeback Kid Band on Friday from 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. The 9th annual Kool Karz Classic Car and Motorcycle Show will take place on April 18 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
