If your Labor Day plans are still wide open, the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island has a pretty compelling answer: an Endless Summer Family BBQ on its oceanfront lawn on Saturday, September 5.
The headliner is Tank Jackson of Holy City Hogs, a nationally recognized pitmaster known for traditional whole-hog barbecue. Jackson will be joined by smoked stations on the lawn, chef-curated sides, salads, and desserts, plus an Ice Cream Sunday Truck and cold beer and refreshments to wash it all down.
The evening goes well beyond the food. A live DJ, games, contests, and a tie-dye station are all part of the lineup, making this one of those rare events that works equally well for adults looking for a relaxed holiday night out and families with kids in tow.
Guests who want to stretch the experience into a full getaway can book a staycation at the resort, where the holiday weekend reportedly includes additional exclusive activities, dining experiences, and family programming. Tickets are described as limited, so early action is advisable if you're interested.
