2025 Barbeque & Beer Festival

Get ready to fire up the grills and crank up the tunes! The Original Barbeque & Beer Festival is back for 2025, celebrating over a decade of mouthwatering BBQ and unforgettable family fun.

Join us for a day filled with smoky flavors and good times as over 30 BBQ pit masters serve up their best, accompanied by a wide selection of beers, spirits, and novelty eats. This annual event is all about bringing families and friends together for great music, delicious food, and handcrafted drinks that hit the spot.

New this year is our expanded VIP area, where you can enjoy catered BBQ, exclusive entertainment, and private bars. Relax in shaded areas with soft seating, warm up by the fire pits, and take in the music from the standing pit access right in front of the stage. With restroom suites and all the extras, this VIP experience takes your festival day to the next level.

Come for the BBQ, stay for the music, and make memories with family and friends that will last a lifetime!
