Cure your cravings for all of summer’s best things; good music, cold beer and world-class BBQ all at Blues, Brews & BBQ on Saturday, August 23, from 12 to 6 p.m. Admission to the event and parking is free. It’s a great event to enjoy with family, friends and neighbors where you can truly appreciate the wonderful Napa community as well as entertainment, beer and food. That’s all we really need in life, right?

Entertainment takes place on three different stages so grab your dancing partner, or kick back and let the amazing live music take you away. Everyone in the family can have a good time with the fun children’s area; kids can enjoy the jumpy houses, face painting and airbrush tattoos as they work up an appetite for some tasty BBQ.

Looking to quench your thirst? Tastes of all beers will be available for purchase to those 21 and over. There’s nothing like a cold beer on a perfect summer day in Napa. There will be 30 microbrews that cover over a city block to keep you from getting parched.  Event sponsor, Blue Moon Brewery will host the Backyard Beer Garden and will be highlighting the Vintage Blond and Farm House Red from Blue Moon. The Beer Garden is a cool place to hang out and sip on brews including; Blue Moon, Lagunitas, New Belgium, New Castle, Anchor, and more surprise brews you haven’t tasted before.

Don’t leave your appetite at home for this event where Downtown is overtaken by the smoky sweet aroma of tasty BBQ, yum! There will be plenty of BBQ to go around; ribs, chicken, oysters, shrimp, corn and pork. The Bounty Hunter Rib Eatin’ Contest provides local pork lovers the opportunity to chow down in an attempt to munch the title away from last year’s champion. After the contest the winner is crowned and then rolled off in a wheelbarrow. Don’t forget your camera; you won’t want to miss capturing this!

This event screams summer time; don’t miss out on the fun. Make it a weekend and reserve your room at one of Downtown’s premier hotels and B&Bs within walking distance to the downtown Blues, Brews & BBQ event.
