Bud & BBQ: SeaWorld Orlando & Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

Savory barbeque, ice-cold Budweiser and sizzlin' concerts!

By Dawn Henthorn, About.com

It's not just the barbeque that's smokin' hot. The 2009 concert lineup for the popular Bud & BBQ at SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay includes a zesty recipe of live performances from award-winning country and classic rock artists — Kenny Rogers, Gretchen Wilson, Miranda Lambert, Gregg Allman and more. The recipe for this popular event mixes savory barbeque, ice-cold Budweiser, a heaping of thrill rides and a dash of seasoned performances for four succulent Saturdays February 7, 14, 21 & 28 at SeaWorld Orlando and four Sundays February 8, 15, 22 & March 1 at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.

Event-goers will be able to indulge in seasoned country cooking with a touch of pizzazz — imagine Budweiser BBQ chicken to Bud Light chili pepper baby back ribs to Michelob Ultra Amber Bock chili and "Smokey Creek" spare ribs. Bud & BBQ offers an array of options to satisfy tastes big and small, including an all-you-care-to-eat barbeque buffet from noon to 3:00 p.m. and sampling booths available throughout the day.
