MUIR BEACH VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT

MBVFD FIREMEN'S BBQ FUNDRAISER

49th Annual Muir Beach Volunteer Firemen's Barbecue
Returns On Sunday, May 28

The 49th Annual Muir Beach Volunteer Firemen’s Barbecue returns on Sunday, May 28 from noon to 5 pm at Santos Meadows on Frank Valley Road. Enjoy delicious food, fantastic live music, tasty craft beers, premium wine, and a whole lot of fun for the family. The Firemen’s Barbecue is a festive gathering and fundraiser for the Muir Beach Volunteer Fire Department and a favorite Memorial Day Weekend tradition in Marin. Keeping the nearly-50-year tradition going, local favorites Andre Pessis and his All-Stars will be back to get the spirited crowd on the dance floor with their classic rock and R&B tunes. Pardon the Interruption, a 4-piece energetic Bay Area band will kick off the afternoon playing upbeat funk, rock, soul, reggae, and blues.

Muir Beach firefighters and community members tend to smoky grills. Barbecue chicken and vegetarian tamale lunches, handmade desserts, sodas, beer, and wine will be available for purchase, as are clothing and other items featuring the famous Muir Beach Volunteer Fire Department's iconic dog logo. The day’s activities end with a raffle of dozens of wonderful prizes (See who won!), including fantastic accommodations and gift certificates from popular Bay Area and beyond restaurants and attractions.

The Annual Firemen’s Barbecue is a fundraiser for the Muir Beach Volunteer Fire Department and donations and purchases of merchandise, food, beverages, and raffle tickets are encouraged and appreciated. Parking is $30 per vehicle; carpooling is encouraged. There is a suggested donation of $10 for walk-in and bike-in attendees.

Covid protocols will align with Marin County health guidelines and are subject to change. Check MuirBeachFire.com for all updates.

 

Live Music by André's Allstars!

Ever wonder why the live music at every Muir Beach Volunteer Firefighters BBQ is always so exceptionally good? Chalk it up to André Pessis! Year after year André recruits the musicians that are featured as "André's Allstars." They're André's friends and associates and they're long-time professionals. (Check out their websites!)

The world recognizes André as an Award Winning Songwriter (16 hits and in seven #1 albums), but Muir Beach folks know André as a home-boy...one of the initial Volunteer Firefighters (over 40 years ago)...and a long-time friend of the BBQ that provides most of the money that keeps the Volunteers going.

So that's why the music is so good. Come this year and see for yourself. And put your hands together for André and all his All-Stars. They rock!
