Beast Feast Returns to Palmetto With Food, Music, and Community Impact
Beast Feast is just around the bend, bringing an evening of bold flavors, live entertainment, and community support to Palmetto.
Hosted by the North Manatee Kiwanis, the annual fundraising event will take place Saturday, March 21, 2026, beginning at 5 p.m. at the Manatee County Fairgrounds. The event is designed to combine a festive atmosphere with a meaningful mission—supporting children’s programs across the local community.
Attendees can expect a Southern-style feast featuring a wide range of dishes, including frog legs, swamp cabbage, hog, buffalo, gator, bison, fish, and shrimp and grits, along with beer and wine. Live music and dancing will set the tone for the evening, complemented by activities such as a silent auction, gun raffle, cornhole games, and a 50/50 drawing.
Tickets are $50 per person and include two drink tickets. Proceeds from Beast Feast directly benefit Kiwanis-supported initiatives that serve children and families in the North Manatee area, helping fund education, youth development, and community outreach programs.
Community members and local businesses are also encouraged to get involved beyond attending. Sponsorship opportunities are available, and volunteers are welcome to help assemble auction baskets and support event logistics.
Tickets and additional event information are available at northmanateekiwanis.org.
