Smoke & Sip BBQ Festival
SAVE THE DATE FOR SATURDAY, MAY 15, 2027!
This ain’t your county fair cookoff; it’s a bare-knuckle BBQ festival set in Middlebrook Agrihood’s working farm, fueled by smoked meats and cold drinks. Read on for the low-down on the BBQers and tasting dishes, drinks, entertainment, and games to make the most out of your afternoon!
PITMASTERS
Each Pitmaster will have a $5 dish and a $3 side option. It’s an affordable way to roll deep, eat big, and own the afternoon, your way.
WET YOUR WHISTLE
Our local favorites below will have a tent at the festival sampling up their finest. Plus, there will be beer, wine, cider, and seltzer available for purchase at the beer tent, and most of the BBQers will be selling a selection of soft drinks.
FUN & GAMES
Enjoy live music all day long, plug, challenge your buddies to games in the yard!
