The Perdido Sports Bar is planning their 3rd Annual Tailgate on the Key the weekend of October 7-8. The event will be held in the Perdido Sports Bar parking lot at 13583 Perdido Key Drive. The crowd has grown each year and owner Judy Davis is excited to host this event and see everyone come out again this year.
The kickoff starts Friday night with a free concert outside staring the newest country music star Jackson Capps and The BeachBilly’s. Come out and enjoy the parking lot party with all of your friends! Music starts at 6:30 p.m. and there will be seating, bar and food service, including the Sports Bar’s prime rib special.
On Saturday, the popular cook-off competition will feature Perdido Key’s best chefs as they compete for People’s Choice and Judge’s Choice in professional and amateur divisions. While teams are cooking, visitors can watch the games in the outside tent with large bar and shop in the local vendor area. New this year will be a corn hole competition presented by the Pirates of Lost Treasure starting at 1 p.m. All fans are encouraged to reserve a tailgate space for Saturday and decorate. A cash prize of $100 will be awarded for the tailgate team decorated for Best Team Spirit.
The cook-off is open to amateur and professional chefs with prizes being awarded in both categories. Cash Prizes will be awarded for People’s Choice and Judge’s Choice.
Tasting tickets will be $20 to enjoy food from all the competition teams and select Craft Beer. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Wonderful Wacky Women Ovarian Cancer Awareness and Simon Says Run for Prostate Cancer.
