The York County BBQ Festival is being held on Friday, June 27 and Saturday, June 28, 2025 in Delta, Pennsylvania.

This annual community event, now in its Tenth year, benefits local businesses and organizations while drawing in visitors from all over the Mid-Atlantic Region. Our primary goal for this event is to promote tourism in Southern York County, Pennsylvania and encourage community involvement and development efforts.

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.
