This free event, perfect for the entire family, is just what it sounds like - Blues, Brews & Barbecue - the epitome of summer in one incredibly tasty, soulful and fun event. 

From noon until 10pm on Saturday June 11th, the the 700 and 800 Blocks of Hamilton Street will be the place to be. With a menu of live music by the hottest Blues musicians, face-painting, artists in action and more barbecue than you can imagine, this event is not to be missed.

Back by popular demand - the 4th Annual Blues, Brews & Barbecue includes the best barbecue anywhere, refreshing brews and activities that are fun for the whole family. This event which kicked off in 2008 grows bigger and better each year and is becoming a Lehigh Valley favorite within the Blues circuit! We are pleased to be able to offer two stages this year allowing for non-stop music!
