A Grammy-winning singer is headlining this free West Palm Beach festival
A Grammy-award-winning blues singer will headline the 10th annual BBQ, Blues and Brews festival this weekend in West Palm Beach's Heart and Soul Park.
The free festival takes place June 28 from 5-9 p.m. and will feature live music, a barbecue competition and beer tastings.
Headlining the festival is blues singer Cedric Burnside, a Mississippi-based musician whose 2021 album 'I Be Trying' won the Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Album. He also has been a nominee for three other Grammy awards.
Burnside is scheduled to take the stage at 8 p.m. Performing before him will be Ladi T and the Super Star Players and The Derek Mack Band.
A judged barbecue contest will feature grillers from several local barbeque spots, including Fosters BBQ, A & A Roadside BBQ and Jerk Center, MeatHead's BBQ, Gilberts Riblets, Da King of BBQ, Eat N' Cake and Twisted Smoke BBQ.
'They will grill, roast, smoke, and serve classics like juicy pulled pork, tender chicken, smoky ribs, and more to guests and to the judges, who will award prizes in multiple categories,' a city news release stated.
The festival, organized by the city's Community Redevelopment Agency, takes place at Heart and Soul Park, 825 N. Rosemary Avenue, West Palm Beach.
Lot parking is available nearby at 444 W. Railroad Ave., as well as a county government parking lot at 505 Banyan Blvd.
