Wayne where over twenty-five tons of incredible BBQ is consumed during Ft. Wayne’s favorite summer festival. Brisket, ribs, pulled pork, rib sandwiches, bbq chicken, and so much more. It’s a BBQ lovers paradise! It’s all served up just the way you love it all while listening to some of the greatest live party blues music hitting the Coors Light main stage.
