Come to the Festival!
One of the most popular events in our town is the annual BBQ festival, where people can enjoy a variety of food, music and local businesses. The festival is held at the Community Center Grounds, where dozens of stalls offer delicious treats, snacks, sandwiches, BBQ and more.
There is also a stage where local bands and singers perform live music throughout the day, ranging from rock to jazz to folk.
We’ll be having a Beer and Wine Garden! Grab your drink tokens the day of (with valid ID) and enjoy the beautiful weekend in our garden with a domestic or craft beer, seltzer, cider, or wine in hand. Beverages will be available for $5 a drink. We’ll also have a designated seating area for those hanging out in the garden!
The festival is a great opportunity to support local businesses, as many of them showcase their products and services at the event. You can find handmade crafts, books, clothes and other items that reflect the creativity and diversity of our community.
The festival is a fun and family-friendly event that attracts thousands of visitors every year. It is a celebration of our town’s culture and spirit.
