BE HAPPY. LOVE ALL.

FREE event to attend

Nothing ushers in the sunshine better than delicious BBQ, cold drinks, and incredible music with friends—and this year, we’re doing it with a cool new breeze. We’ve moved our dates from the June swelter to the perfect patio weather of April! Same massive party, same fabulous vibes, just without the summer melt. Join us in the Arenas District for two days of award-winning vendors and live performances right on Arenas Rd.

This finger-lickin’ BBQ features: FREE entry, live entertainment, and outdoor beverage lounges. A variety of food will be available for purchase.
