The 4th Annual Shrimp & Grits Festival is returning to Destin, Florida on Saturday, February 25, 2023, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Brotula’s Seafood House & Steamer.

This event is a must-attend for those who love a classic southern dish, great drinks, and live entertainment on the Destin Harbor.

Local restaurants and chefs will be competing for the title of the best Shrimp & Grits dish on the Emerald Coast. This festival is not just about good food and drinks, it’s also about giving back to the community.

All proceeds from the event will benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Emerald Coast, a local non-profit organization with clubs located in Pensacola, Crestview, South Walton, DeFuniak Springs, Destin, and Fort Walton Beach.

Ticket prices vary with VIP Tickets priced at $75. These tickets include an armband for unlimited food samples and drinks tickets, exclusive early admission (11 am – 12 pm) to the event, a VIP lounge with a private bar, and more.

General Admission Tickets are priced at $45 and include an armband for unlimited food samples and drink tickets for craft beer and cocktail samples.

Food Only / Under 21 Tickets are priced at $25 and include an armband for unlimited food samples. Prices will increase after February 10, 2023.

Tickets are expected to sell out fast, so those interested are encouraged to purchase on Eventbrite. If your restaurant, food truck, or catering company is interested in competing for a cause, please contact the Frances Roy Agency by emailing hello@francesroy.com.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 25, 2023, for the 4th Annual Shrimp & Grits Festival at Brotula’s Seafood House & Steamer.
