What to Expect at SeaWorld’s Bands, Brew & BBQ This Summer

We all long for three things during the summer: good food and drinks, music to rock out to, and exciting ways to beat the heat. Luckily for you, SeaWorld Orlando brings all that and more with its rockin’ Bands, Brew & BBQ summer festival. Here’s what you can expect from this lively fest for August 2024.

What Is Bands, Brew & BBQ?

Whether you’re a local or a returning tourist, SeaWorld’s Bands, Brew & BBQ may sound like news to you — and that’s because, in a sense, it is! This summer event, once held a few years ago before being replaced by SeaWorld’s Craft Beer Festival, is making its return on weekends from July 6 to August 25, 2024.

Bands, Brew & BBQ combines the bubbling brews from the Craft Beer Festival with the vibrance of live music and good food from SeaWorld’s Summer Spectacular to ensure an exciting summer.

What You Can Expect at Bands, Brew & BBQ

SeaWorld Orlando has yet to release full details of all of Bands, Brew & BBQ’s happenings for 2024, but we have an idea of what you can expect during this go-round. The Craft Beer Festival and Bands, Brew & BBQ have a lot in common — namely bands and brews.

In previous years, the Craft Beer Festival brought park guests beers and brews from various bars and breweries. Live music played throughout the day for festivalgoers to enjoy.

This time around, you’ll get to tune into more than just live music playing from the Flamecraft and Beer Garden stages. Each weekend, dedicated live afternoon concerts will feature top bands and artists.

Additionally, Central Florida is home to breweries that SeaWorld has featured in past festivals, including Orlando Brewing, Florida Beer Company, and Crooked Can.

One thing this festival has over the past years’ Craft Beer Festival is the stellar selection of barbecue. Past years have included a mix of SeaWorld’s own food and local barbecue restaurant chains, including Sonny’s BBQ and Bubbalou’s Bodacious Bar-B-Que.

We can’t wait to see what 2024’s Bands, Brew & BBQ will bring. Stay tuned to this page for updates!
