For the sixth year, the Florida Theatre’s Blues, Brews and BBQ indoor picnic and summer fundraiser, held Aug. 23, did not disappoint as nearly 500 theater lovers raised a record $40,000-plus in support of one of three remaining Florida theaters built in the 1920s.

Guests enjoyed wings, pulled pork, smoked brisket and more from ABBQ, Bono’s Pit Bar-B-Q, Gilbert’s Social, Mojo No. 4 Urban BBQ and Whiskey Bar, Monroe’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Q, River City Brewing Company and Wicked Barley Brewing Company. Dessert was provided by Nothing Bundt Cakes.

Blues music continuously performed by The Snacks Blues Band and Beale Street kept the crowd engaged while they sampled brews from Bold City Brewery, Intuition Ale Works, Seven Bridges Grille & Brewery, Veterans United Craft Brewery and Wicked Barley Brewing Company.
