Same great location as last year, at Ballantyne’s Backyard! It’s a beautiful setting for Charlotte’s Biggest, Baddest, Bone-In BBQ Festival – the Beer Bourbon and BBQ Festival. This 17th Annual affair is back and ready for more - it offers up all those pleasures that true Southerners live by - Beer, Bourbon, Barbeque, Boots, Bacon, Biscuits, Bluegrass and Smoked Beasts! It's a great day of beer sippin', bourbon tastin', music listenin', cigar smokin' and barbeque eatin'. Your Admission buys you a souvenir glass so you can enjoy an ALL-YOU-CARE-TO-TASTE sampling of the beer and bourbon.
