SeaWorld Bands, Brews and BBQ 2016
Orlando get ready for the SeaWorld Bands, Brews, and BBQ! It’s time again to eat, drink and rock every Saturday and Sunday, February 13 through March 6. This amazing event is in partnership with USO Central Florida and honors America’s heroes. There will be live concerts from top classic rock and country musical artists, tasty BBQ and thirst-quenching brews, and special discounts for active duty military and veterans.
SeaWorld’s chef experts fire up the grill with a bold array of BBQ options beyond the ordinary. From smoky and spicy to sweet and tangy, there are options for every craving, plus guests can match menu items with specific craft brews or a flight of wine. In addition to the signature acts and festivities, the event also will feature a secondary stage to showcase local bands, and a DJ spinning music for guests to show off their line dancing and boot scootin’ skills.
**Now through March 6, in celebration of SeaWorld Orlando’s popular Bands, Brew & BBQ Festival, the park is offering a special discount of $20 off SeaWorld single-day tickets purchased in advance, and a FREE ice-cold 5-ounce craft brew served on tap alongside a warm sample of pretzel bites at SeaWorld Orlando. The discounted price for the single-day tickets is $79.**
The offer also is available to active SeaWorld annual Pass Members who register online. Beer and pretzel nuggets should be redeemed at Mama’s Pretzel Kitchen at the park.

why don’t you list the star line up in advance? Many people have to plan more than a week out for time off from work and other personal commitments.
I will list it as soon as I have it!
Something like Brews,Blues,and BBQ’S here and in Waterloo,Ontario.
This sounds like a great deal and lots of fun, especially with the snow on the ground here in the northeast.
This combination is a sure win and a lot of fun! It is great to know that SeaWorld has adult themed events.
this just sounds like a whold day of family fun
I’ve taken my children to sea world several times. I’m a Marine Corps Disabled Veteran, these days it’s difficult for me to get around, I would have loved to been able to attend some of these events. This is awesome.
