A festival designed to increase the sense of community throughout the Monmouth County area. The idea is to have Blues bands play all day/night and have people bring lawn chairs and listen to the great music, while also partaking in the various BBQ foods throughout the festival. There will also be a number of contests throughout the day where people can show off their culinary skills or sheer craziness.

Timeframe: This festival is scheduled to take place on the first Saturday in August from 11 AM – 12 AM
