B4 Weekend 2019

The beautiful Gasparilla Inn, open since 1913, served as the perfect venue for the early summer getaway.

On Friday evening, the Gasparilla Beach Club welcomed guests to Surfing Around the World—an evening of festive bites from surf towns around the globe, accompanied by cocktails, brews, and live music.

The Barrel-Aged Bourbon Julep, one of the event’s signature sips.

Classic cocktails, including Old-Fashioneds and Dark ‘n Stormys, were served frozen to cool off the crowd at the beachside soirée.

After a morning of chef-led demos and plenty of samples, guests gather at the Beach Club for Bingo & Brews, an annual tradition hosted by Garden & Gun.

A sunny afternoon calls for festive gear and a bit of friendly competition.

On Saturday evening, attendees took to the croquet lawn for Gasparilla Glamping—a night of elevated, camping-inspired cuisine, cocktails, and music.

Guests raise a glass to a fun-filled weekend with smoked Corazón margaritas.

Blackened shrimp with avocado crema, mango pancetta, and micro cilantro, prepared by chef Scott Haegele.

Cheers to another successful B4 Weekend!
