Blues, Bandits & BBQ
3rd Annual Blues, Bandits & BBQ – Friday, October 26th and Saturday, October 27th, 2012!
The 3rd Annual Go Oak Cliff Blues Bandits & BBQ will take place on Friday, October 26 and Saturday, October 27, 2012. The event is conveniently located in the heart of North Oak Cliff , just blocks from the Bishop Arts District at the future site of the Davis Street Market developmen
If you want to sample and enjoy all of the amazing competition BBQ, as well as vote on the 2012 BBQ People’s Choice Award, then you’ll want to purchase your BBQ tasting wrist band in advance. BBQ tasting will take place between 2pm and 4pm on Saturday, October 27th. Once we sell out of these there won’t be any additional wrist bands available. But have no fear – we will have food trucks and other food vendors on site who will sell other treats onsite for cash. If you buy a tasting wrist band then you’ll want to be onsite during the entire tasting portion of the event (2pm-4pm) as the teams will be sampling their brisket, pulled pork, ribs, chicken and sausage at different times during the two hour window. Once the team’s samples are gone, they are gone. (But with 23 teams and a limited number of wrist bands for sale, you’ll get more BBQ than you should really eat!)
Below you’ll find a schedule of events during the weekend, including the times for the beer garden (open both Friday and Saturday) , the live music schedule, a wood fire cooking demonstration from Chef Tim Byres from Smoke Restaurant & Chicken Scratch, a free outdoor movie screening on Friday night, and MUCH more. Look forward to seeing everyone – we’re expecting perfect weather, amazing BBQ, cold beer and lots of fun.
