This is a really awesome food festival! Loads of great music, food, arts & crafts, kiddie rides and more! I try to go every year! I love the BBQ sandwiches with slaw on them and the spicy pigtail fries that the city sells every year. There's tons of other kinds of food and drink all over downtown too, if BBQ isn't your thing!

This year is going to be the 25th Anniversary!

If you go, don't try to park downtown. A couple hundred thousand people could mash themselves in there--it's happened before--and the best plan is to go park at the WalMart shopping center out by I-85 at Exit 91 & ride the shuttle bus in and out. It only costs $2, and you know the people downtown will charge a lot more than that to park.
