The BBQ Festival is a fun, end of summer neighborhood event and raises money for the new Hamilton Park Conservancy.  The Conservancy is dedicated to assisting the city in the maintenance and improvement of the historic Hamilton Park.  Proceeds of the Hamilton Park BBQ Festival will go to the Hamilton Park Conservancy.

The BBQ Festival features a number of vendors offering special dishes, mostly BBQ and BBQ related sides.  Pennsylvania’s Jimmy’s BBQ, Jersey City’s Legal Beans BBQ, MAE (Modern American Eatery), and the Hamilton Inn have been confirmed. The Festival will feature New Jersey Beer Co., Lizzmonade, and other refreshments including ice pops from DoCo Market & Café and treats from Sophie Sophia Cake Boutique and Made with Love Bakery. This year the fest is partnering with Not Yo Mama’s Craft Fairs for fantastic crafts and art for sale along McWilliams Place. The famous Dancing Tony is coordinating live music all day. Some of the bands on the roster so far include Secret Country, The Go Rounds, The Ashes, Kelly St. Patrick, and The Milwaukees.

Come join in for great food and fun and support the new Hamilton Park Conservancy!
