2025 Gumbo Ya-Ya Cookoff

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida is excited to announce that our 2025 Gumbo Ya-Ya at Seville Quarter in Downtown Pensacola will take place on May 17th from 4pm - 6pm. Amateur and professional cooking teams will compete for bragging rights for the best Gumbo in Pensacola. As part of the rules, the three-person teams have to make the gumbo from scratch. Judges will then have the very difficult job of deciding which teams will win various categories. Each gumbo will be judged on taste, smell, color, and consistency. Trophies will be awarded to the top three winners. Tickets are now on sale for $15.00, get yours here: https://bit.ly/ILoveGumbo Prices will increase to $20.00 at the door on the day of the event. Sponsorship Opportunities are now available. For more information, please contact our Director of Development, Lori Oswald, at loswald@bbbsnwfl.org
