Chicken, hot dogs, burgers and pulled pork will be grilled and served up by Venice’s LAFD Station #63, led by Chief Jeremiah Johnson (retired) and master grillers Todd von Hoffmann and Michael Watkins. City, state and federal elected officials will be on hand throughout the day while you’ll be entertained by an array of musical talent including The Potential Suitors and Ocean Front Walk!

All Venetians are urged to bring your best side dish, salad or dessert to be placed at our potluck stations. Impress your friends and neighbors with some great sides! Also join us for a watermelon-eating contest, a “tug-of-war” with the firefighters, a bouncy house and other fun games for kids and adults of all ages. Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate the diversity that makes Venice a unique and special urban beach community envied by so many worldwide. The BBQ is free to all Venetians, but bring your best Potluck dish to share with neighbors and friends alike. . . “The BBQ is our biggest event of the year. It is an opportunity to meet old friends, make new friends and celebrate Venice, this special place we all call home,” offered VNC President Mike Newhouse.“ In this time of great change here in the community, the BBQ offers all of us a chance to unwind and have some fun. I urge all Venetians to stop by and take part in this special gathering of our neighbors,” noted Newhouse. This event is open to all, and organized by the Venice Neighborhood Council (VNC). Street parking is available but we encourage you to walk or bike!. .
