BLUE RIDGE BLUES & BBQ FESTIVAL

The Blue Ridge Blues & BBQ Festival returns to downtown Blue Ridge for its 15th anniversary celebration — and this year’s event will be bigger, smokier, and more soulful than ever. Enjoy a full day of live blues music, award-winning barbecue, family-friendly fun, and exciting giveaways in the heart of the North Georgia Mountains.

Festival highlights include live, high-energy blues performances featuring the “Bad Boy of Blues,” Emanuel Casablanca, along with additional artists to be announced; mouthwatering BBQ from 15 award-winning pitmasters; 15 FREE giveaways leading up to the festival, including a Traeger Smoker; and The Market, featuring new vendors selling BBQ rubs, sauces, grilling gear, and specialty items. Families are welcome. FREE admission for kids 12 and under!

More announcements, entertainment details, and festival updates will be available on the official website. Mark your calendars and get ready for one of our most popular events of the year!
