On an upcoming summer evening, Blue Ridge Barbecue & Music Festival organizers will reward Gala guests with the "Best of the Barbecue" exquisite food, spirits, live entertainment and a behind-the-scenes view of our State Championship Barbecue Competition.
The pre-Festival Farm to Table Gala will be held on the Festival grounds at Harmon Field in Tryon. As final steps are being taken for the Festival's opening, Gala guests will enjoy a five-course meal featuring foods from local farms and slow cooked meats prepared by championship cookers. And to cap the evening, one of the most popular blues bands in the region, Gas House Mouse, will entertain.
