If you happen to be a North Brunswick BBQ enthusiast enthralled in the art of the pit master, I have a suggestion on how to spend the 2nd Saturday in May with family and friends at the nearby Middlesex County Fairgrounds. Before I spill those beans (pun intended of course), you might want to beef up (ok, last one) on the best BBQ shows currently streaming by clicking here!

North Brunswick residents at North Brunswick Manor, Mae Brook at Renaissance, Renaissance Terrace, Renaissance Manor and The Glen at Renaissance should follow the scent of BBQ and the sound of live music to North Brunswick’s BBQ & SOUL FOOD FESTIVAL on Saturday May 10 from 12pm-7pm. This pet-friendly family festival features craft vendors, live music, craft beers, hard seltzers, games and activities, including a free Kids Zone. Just bring your own chair(s) and blanket(s) and prepare to feast on smoky BBQ and Southern soul food, like BBQ ribs, brisket, fried chicken, mac ‘n’ cheese, collard greens, and much, much more!

For tickets to this event (that support the Rotary Club of New Brunswick), please click here and you’ll be taken to the event registration page. Children 10 and under are free.
