Come enjoy music, select children’s entertainment items, and the ambiance of a festival downtown. Tickets ($2 each) are sold at the gate only—no advance sales—for food samples, beer, wine, cocktails and select entertainment items (ex. bounce house). In addition to the BBQ samples, we will also have our HostMobile food truck selling delicious sides and snacks.

Schedule of Events:

6-10pm: Anything **** Contest

Join us Friday evening for our Anything **** Contest, which challenges cookers to prepare appetizers, sides, and desserts in some friendly competition. Also, get a chance to meet with the cookers and observe their process as they gear up for the next day’s BBQ cook-off competition. Friday evening will feature two musical acts and the Kids Zone will also be open. To thank our sponsors, we offer VIP treatment on Friday night of the festival, inviting sponsors to join us in an exclusive space, free admission, private restrooms, name recognition and a specialty bar to enjoy!
