On Saturday, June 14, Back Beach Barbecue will host their eighth annual “Hog Bash” to celebrate eight years in business.

From 12-4 p.m. the Panama City Beach restaurant will welcome guests for an afternoon celebration featuring a whole smoked hog, live music, and refreshments by local purveyors including Idyll Hounds Brewing Company. For a $20 donation, diners will receive a plate filled with Back Beach’s signature pulled pork, barbecue baked beans, and coleslaw. In honor of Father’s Day, Back Beach Barbecue will host a free-to-enter raffle during the event for a gift card. The winner will be drawn on Sunday, June 15 and announced on the restaurant’s social media pages.

To commemorate the restaurant’s anniversary, Back Beach Barbecue will donate a portion of the proceeds to South Walton Academy, a private, non-profit inclusion school and pediatric therapy clinic in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla. Located at 305 Mack Bayou Road, South Walton Academy is dedicated to empowering every child to reach their highest potential through inclusive education and community engagement. The school serves children from preschool through 12th grade and offers individualized education as well as therapeutic support such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and behavioral therapy for those who need therapeutic accommodations.

This event is free and open to the public to attend. To learn more about Back Beach Barbecue and to stay up to date on events, new menu arrivals, and more, like their Facebook page or visit www.backbeachbarbecue.com.
