Back Beach BBQ Annual Hog Bash

About this event

<p>When a beloved Panama City Beach BBQ joint throws an anniversary party, they go all out — with a whole smoked hog. Back Beach Barbecue's Annual Hog Bash is a laid-back afternoon that brings the best of Gulf Coast slow-cook culture to life. From noon to 4 PM, the patio transforms into a festive outdoor gathering with Idyll Hounds craft brews, live music, giveaways, and the star of the show: a gorgeously slow-smoked whole hog.</p><p>For a $20 donation, you'll score a generous plate loaded with Back Beach's signature pulled pork, barbeque baked beans, and coleslaw — the kind of meal that earns its reputation across the Emerald Coast. Even better, those donations go directly to South Walton Academy, a private non-profit inclusion school and pediatric therapy clinic in Santa Rosa Beach that serves children with diverse learning needs.</p><p>It's the kind of event that captures everything great about the Florida Panhandle: casual atmosphere, incredible food, community spirit, and a reason to celebrate under the sunshine. A perfect laid-back Saturday afternoon before or after hitting the beach.</p>
