O
ne could not have asked for better weather for the 11th annual Blues,
Brews & BBQ Festival on November 3. Music fi lled the air, along
with some delicious BBQ smells, as you walked the HarborWalk
Village walkways and docks. Over 15 of the area’s best restaurants
came out to represent their very best BBQ styles and signature coastal cuisines, with
the top winners awarded in each category. With samples galore, some that were even
questionable to be “sample sized,” folks certainly did not leave that Saturday from
the HarborWalk hungry.
Throughout the day, there were several musical performances by John Hart &
Tyler Mac. People danced, sang along, and some even in VIP style if they purchased
the VIP experience, which alloed them to come and go from the On the Rocks Bar
and provided access to a small BBQ buffet catered by Big Red Truck and tickets
for sampling specialty cocktails. AC, which wasn’t so much needed, and private
bathrooms topped off the VIP experience!
