Gumbo Ya-Ya

Santa Rosa/Escambia Counties

Tickets are on sale now!

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida hosts Gumbo Ya-Ya at Seville Quarter in Downtown Pensacola on Saturday, April 18th from 4:00 pm-6:00 pm. It's a flavorful event where amateur and professional teams compete for bragging rights as the best gumbo makers in town! Each three-person team is required to make their gumbo from scratch, and a panel of judges has the tough job of scoring each dish based on taste, smell, color, and consistency. Trophies are awarded to the top three teams, making it a spirited and delicious competition.

Guests have the opportunity to sample dozens of gumbo varieties by visiting the chefs' tables, turning the event into a true celebration of flavor, all while supporting a great cause. All proceeds benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida. 

Tickets are $15.00 in advance, $20.00 at the door. Purchase your ticket today!
