This year, we’re proud to announce that proceeds from the event will benefit multiple Glades-area nonprofits, reinforcing our commitment to making a real difference where we live.

Honoring Our Heroes, Strengthening Our Community
This year, we’re rallying together to raise funds for a Veterans Memorial in the City of Belle Glade—a lasting tribute to the brave men and women who have served our country and defended our freedoms.
Our veterans have sacrificed so much for us. They have stood on the frontlines to protect the liberties we cherish, and now it’s our turn to honor them with a place of remembrance, respect, and gratitude right here in our community.
The Glades Historical Society was honored to receive $61,000 from the first annual Torry Island BBQ Showdown! This generous contribution will help preserve and celebrate the rich history of the Glades, ensuring that future generations can learn about our community’s heritage. The success of this inaugural event highlights the power of coming together for great food, music, and a meaningful cause. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this incredible impact possible!
