Panama City Beach heads into Sunday with a busy slate of food, football, and neighborhood events wrapping up a lively winter weekend on the coast.

Food Truck & Craft Beer Festival wraps up today

The 9th annual food truck and craft beer festival continues today at Aaron Bessant Park, capping a two day run that began Saturday.

Organizers have brought in more than twenty food trucks, along with regional craft beers and other beverages, lawn games, and live music. Today’s session runs through the afternoon, giving residents and visitors one more chance to sample from a wide mix of menus in one spot.

A portion of the proceeds from the weekend supports local veterans and civic volunteers, adding a fundraising angle to what has become a regular stop on the city’s winter calendar.

Big Game Sunday and nightlife options

For football fans, several local spots are leaning into tonight’s big game. One Front Beach Road restaurant is advertising a themed watch party starting around late afternoon, pairing game day menus with drink specials.

Motorcycle enthusiasts have also had options this weekend, with a bike night and related gatherings scheduled at a beachside sports bar. Between live entertainment, outdoor seating, and mild February weather, the strip is expected to stay busy into the evening.

School fundraisers and community gatherings

Beyond the parks and nightlife, community groups have filled the weekend with smaller events. Arnold High School’s band program has been raising money through rummage sales, giving families a reason to stop by campus even after Friday night’s soccer playoff game.

Elsewhere in the beach area, churches and civic groups are hosting breakfasts, bunco games, and other gatherings, from West Bay to Gulf Highlands. These events may be quieter than the festivals, but they help support local programs and keep neighbors connected during the slower season.

Looking ahead this month

Later in February, the local chamber’s annual awards dinner at a beachfront resort is already sold out, a sign of how many businesses and community leaders plan to be in the room. Toward the end of the month, a lunch and learn at Capt. Anderson’s Event Center will bring together builders and real estate professionals for an update on tourism trends.

With major spring events and the high impact period coming into view next month, this weekend’s mix of food, music, and low key fundraisers offers a relatively relaxed start to a busy season.
