West Palm Beach is gearing up for a flavorful fusion of food and music at the upcoming BBQ Brews and Blues, marking its decade-long tradition on Saturday, from 5 to 9 p.m. The historic Heart & Soul Park at 825 N. Rosemary Ave. will play host to this free and family-friendly event, featuring a smorgasbord of culinary delights, live performances, and a beer garden designed specifically for the adult crowd, as reported by West Palm Beach's official website.
Seven BBQ maestros, including Fosters BBQ and Eat’n Cake will showcase their grilling prowess in a competition for multiple accolades, their specialties ranging from pulled pork to smoky ribs which they will serve to the guests and the judges; all while patrons can simultaneously indulge in diverse offerings like Bahamian conch fritters from Island Smash Bahamian Cuisines or the bold flavors of Food Madness, the official lineup promises a taste for every palate. A fresh addition to the festivity is the dedicated beer garden, where beer aficionados can sample local craft brews alongside celebrated international beers from providers like Coastal Karma Brewing.
The event's musical lineup boasts Grammy-recognized talent, with Cedric Burnside headlining, his latest album “Hill Country Love” having garnered significant attention, alongside other acts like The Derek Mack Band, known for bringing high-energy covers across several decades, and local wonder Terrion Nelson of Ladi T and the Super Star Players filling the air with soulful hits from iconic female groups, as shared by West Palm Beach's news release.
Complementing the entertainment, BBQ Brews and Blues 2025 will spotlight local businesses and organizations, including the Styx Promenade—a growing business hub in the Historic Northwest—along with The Actor’s Rep Theatre, HealthMax Center, and American Bath and Shower, all showcasing their services. Family-friendly fun will be in full swing with activities like Rohi's Readery and a pop-up roller skating rink from TJ Spot. The CRA will also be present to share updates on local development projects that support community growth and investment.
