True to its moniker, Surfside Beach, “The Family Beach”, will conduct two of their family events this month. The ninth annual Surfside Beach BBQ Festival will be held March 9th and 10th on Surfside Drive near the pier. Friday the 9th will be “Anything But BBQ” where the competing BBQ vendors will cook and sell their “favorite” dish, i.e. chicken wings, chicken bog, soups, chili, etc. from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Saturday the 10th will be the actual BBQ competition, where each vendor will cook and sell their BBQ. The public will be encouraged to vote for their favorite, and cash prizes will be awarded to first, second and third place.
Over 60 local arts and crafts vendors, companies promoting their businesses, and snack vendors will also be on site. There will be inflatables and games for the children. Live entertainment will be provided by the bluegrass band, The Crave & Company, from 10am-1pm, and the country band, The Josh Brannon Band, from 1-4pm. Admission to the event is free.
