All-American BBQ at City Hall!
Come one, come all, to a summertime staple, the All-American BBQ, June 20-24 in Dilworth Park! Five days of live music and DJs powered by Live Nation, food, games, line dancing, contests and more. Chefs will turn the park into a BBQ pit, grilling pulled pork sandwiches, house-pulled chicken, smoked BBQ wings, and burgers, along with all sorts of sweet county fair treats. To wash it all down, stop in the Bud Light Beer Garden or try a handmade cocktail, featuring Maker’s Mark Bourbon. The All-American BBQ at Dilworth Park is free and open to the public, with food and drinks pay-as-you-go.
On Thursday, meet George and Martha Washington, while sampling Budweiser Freedom Reserve Lager! Dress up your four-legged friends on Saturday for a patriotic pooch pet costume contest and a chance to win a brand new Bud Light gas grill! Compete in a watermelon-eating contest on Sunday for a chance to win a grill tool set, courtesy of Budweiser! For menus and a complete schedule, click here.
