Orlando, Florida – A free community barbecue hosted by Orange County Sheriff John Mina is scheduled to bring residents together in Pine Hills later this month.
According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the Community BBQ will take place Wednesday, Feb. 25, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Pine Hills Elementary School, located at 1006 Ferndell Road in Orlando.
The event is being organized by Sheriff Mina in partnership with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and is open to the public at no cost. Organizers say the gathering is designed to encourage positive community engagement while providing families with an afternoon of food, music, and activities.
Sheriff’s Office officials said attendees can expect a family-friendly environment with free barbecue, entertainment, and interactive activities for children and adults. Residents are encouraged to bring family members, friends, and neighbors to attend.
The Pine Hills neighborhood has been a focus of multiple community outreach initiatives in recent years, with law enforcement leaders emphasizing visibility and relationship-building through non-enforcement events.
Officials did not indicate whether advance registration is required. The Sheriff’s Office noted the event will take place rain or shine.
The afternoon timing may be especially relevant for families, students, and working residents looking for a community event shortly after the school day ends.
