MAY 16, 2026, 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM
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 beer.
Roam the farm, plate in hand, and work your way through a lineup of mouthwatering bbq favorites and tasty sides. Each pitmaster will serve their best with no rush, just straight-up flavor.
On the Farmhouse front porch, Taylor King will be turning up the tunes with ringing guitar solos and expressive vocals, blending rock, country, and alternative favorites from the ’60s to today.
In the farm yard, try your luck at Barnyard Bingo! Pick your lucky number, and if the chicken “chooses” it, you take home a prize. Or, gather ’round a yard game with your beer and your buddies.
