Where You'll Find Us
Frequent Stops Across SW Florida
While our schedule changes week to week, we have a rotation of types of venues and stops we return to regularly throughout the North Port, Venice, Sarasota, and Port Charlotte corridor. Here's where we typically show up — check our Monday post for this week's specifics.
Local Craft Breweries
We pair naturally with the craft beer scene across SW Florida. Look for us at local breweries and taprooms in the Venice, North Port, and Port Charlotte area.
Farmers Markets
Weekend farmers markets across the Sarasota-Charlotte corridor are a natural home for us. Great food, great community, great atmosphere for artisan BBQ.
Neighborhood & Community Events
Block parties, HOA events, neighborhood cookouts, local festivals — we show up where the community gathers. North Port and surrounding areas are home turf.
Local Business Parking Lots
We partner with local businesses for lunchtime and weekend pop-ups — bringing foot traffic and great BBQ to venues across Venice, Sarasota, and Port Charlotte.
Important: These are types of stops, not a fixed weekly schedule. Specific venues and confirmed dates are always posted on @bbqartco on Instagram every Monday. Don't drive somewhere without checking first.
Private Bookings
Want to Book the Truck
for Your Event?
If you want BBQ Art Co. at a specific venue, date, or event — not just wherever we happen to be that week — a food truck booking or catering package is the right move. We'll reserve the date exclusively for you, show up early, and serve your crowd with the same artisan quality we bring to every event.
