Sonny's BBQ Launches Feast & Float
As summer unfolds, there’s nothing more refreshing than a riverside BBQ fest. Sonny's BBQ is set to transform the warm days ahead with its exciting
Feast & Float program across select locations in Florida, Kentucky, and Georgia. This initiative invites BBQ enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers to gather for a delightful blend of slow-smoked barbecue, live music, and summer activities—perfect for friends and family alike.
A Summer Staple Begins
Kicking off on June 6 at the beautiful Rainbow River in Florida, those joining the Feast & Float experience can hop on a tube and let the river carry them to a Sonny's BBQ pop-up, conveniently located at key entry and exit points along the river. This allows for a seamless mix of floating and feasting, making it easy for guests to indulge in their favorite BBQ dishes both before and after a day on the water.

The Feast & Float schedule includes a series of exciting locations:
- - June 6: KP Hole Park (Dunnellon, FL)
- - June 27: Stillwater Campground (Frankfort, KY)
- - July 25: Abbotts Bridge Recreation Area (Duluth, GA)

Katie Love, the chief marketing officer of Sonny's BBQ, shared, "Summer is the time for fun, relaxation, and making memories with loved ones. With Feast & Float, we’re bringing the spirit of BBQ to river-goers and creating a laid-back environment for everyone to enjoy."
