FVDA BBQ, Blues and Brews

This festival is held on Broad Street in the historic Varina downtown district and is an event that features all the things people love about North Carolina…BBQ, Blues, Bluegrass Music and Craft Beer! This fundraising event is Fuquay-Varina’s way of supporting the upcoming, regional International Bluegrass Festival and for people to enjoy a friendly, competitive, delicious BBQ Cook-Off. Guests are encouraged to visit all 3 contest zones to sample delicious BBQ, savor a great & unique selection of craft beers and enjoy a variety of blues and bluegrass music provided by our event partners, Aviator Brewery, Draft Line Brewery, the Brick Bar & Grill, and the Fainting Goat Brewing Company. BBQ, Blues & Brews is an “Open” competition destined to be as popular as our annual Chili Cook-Off which will be held on November 5th. Like that cook-off, the BBQ Cook-Off is designed to be easy, laid back, fun and profitable for contestants as they compete for bragging rights and Prize Money. This contest is not a KCBS sanctioned event.
