Rock out at Bands, Brew, & BBQ at SeaWorld Orlando

February 15, 2013 6:00 am38 Comments

If you think going to SeaWorld Orlando time after time is boring you have never really been to SeaWorld my friend. Last Saturday my husband and I spent the day at SeaWorld (yes, sans kids) to take in the sights, smells, and sounds of SeaWorld’s annual Bands, Brew & BBQ. That’s what we love about SeaWorld: they always have something awesome and fun going on. Last month we spent the day at SeaWorld for their annual “Just for Kids” event which didn’t disappoint one bit.

Just as the name implies, the party will include more than rockin’ concerts (included in park admission). Guests can wet their whistle with nearly 50 craft and international beers, fill up on BBQ from Orlando’s best restaurants and enjoy live performances from award-winning country and classic rock artists. Saturday was the kick-off for the event so it was a very exciting day for everyone there.

At 4pm it was time to rock out and with practically front row seats I didn’t miss a thing. Chris Young (I knew one song) and Jerrod Niemann are names that I have to admit I had never heard before but they put on a great show. The crowd was alive and loving it as well.

SeaWorld Orlando’s Bands, Brew & BBQ concerts run every Saturday and Sunday through March 17. Which is an extra 2 week of fun that has been added to this annual event!

Of course you could bring the family to SeaWorld any day of the week but we had a great time just spending some time alone at an event made for adults to enjoy.

All of the usual SeaWorld entertainment runs as normal so we can still catch One Ocean, Clyde & Seamore Take On Pirate Island, Elmo Rocks!, and our favorite – Blue Horizons.

You have a lot of options when you come to Central Florida and SeaWorld should definitely be one of your top choices. They provide your family with not only education but tons of fun.
