The Anheuser Busch ‘Select 55’ fifteen-story tall hot air balloon will be "dropping" in on the Beach Boogie & BBQ Festival this year, located at Meyers Avenue and Phillips Blvd. The balloon will be inflated Friday and Saturday from about 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The impressive inflation process will begin around 5 p.m.
Volunteer Opportunities
An event such as the Beach Boogie & BBQ Festival cannot succeed without the support of the community it serves. We were proud that our festivals are successful in large part due to an army of volunteers who help with all aspects of the event, from its planning stages to the final cleanup!
