Let the countdown begin for Southern Roots Reunion, an “all-you-can-meat” BBQ + music festival happening Sat., April 30 from 11 a.m.- 4 p.m at Trailblazer Park.

Tapping into those home-roots vibes, the festival is bringing together local farmers, chefs + pitmasters to cook up a drool-worthy array of barbecued meats, seafood, fruits, and veggies, all cooked in different styles – and, yes, all bottomless. If the food isn’t front + center enough, the music will be, with live stage performances playing throughout the event.

A not-to-be-missed detail is that proceeds benefit IDefine, a nonprofit created by the festival director to help find a cure for Kleefstra Syndrome (from which his daughter suffers).

  • Your all-inclusive ticket includes
  • Bottomless eats/drinks by 30+ renowned chefs and pitmasters
  • Live music from Gyth Rigdon, Darby Wilcox + more (full lineup here)
  • All locally sourced food
  • Community building for a cause

Bonus: Purchase tickets by Fri., April 22 for BOGO ticket prices (that’s as low as $38 each).*
