Good food for a great cause? Count us in.

The fourth annual Southern Roots BBQ Reunion returns Saturday, April 12 at Trailblazer Park — and it’s bringing the heat.

Feast on all-you-can-eat barbecue from 35+ pitmasters (think: Lewis Barbecue, Henry’s Smokehouse, and more), enjoy live music, shop the artisan market, and savor a selection of beer, wine, and spirits.

Plus, every ticket supports IDefine, a nonprofit supporting kids with Kleefstra Syndrome.
