Final update ·

🌧️ Thank you, Washington!

The rain changed our plans, but it didn’t stop this community from showing up for Smoke on the Water.

Thank you to our cooks, volunteers, sponsors, vendors, and everyone who came out to support us. We appreciate every bit of work and every person who helped make this weekend happen.

🚗 Drive-thru BBQ is the only thing still open.

📍 Pick up at MAIN & GLADDEN.

All other festival activities and food sales have closed. If you’re heading our way for BBQ, please use the drive-thru and travel safely.

Thank you for sticking with us through the rain. ❤️
