Your favorite James Weldon Johnson Park festival is back and rebranded! Bluegrass, Beer, and Barbecue is now Brew & BBQ and coming back to James Weldon Johnson Park on Saturday, September 30, 2023, from 4 pm to 10 pm.

You can once again expect plenty of barbecue-themed food trucks, a wide range of beers to choose from, a plethora of vendors, and great music. This year’s lineup includes experimental funk soloist, Soliloquy; local jam-fusion luminaries, the Parker Urban Band; and Jacksonville’s own psychedelic bluegrass festival favorites, The Firewater Tent Revival!

The concert is presented by Friends of James Weldon Johnson Park, is family-friendly, and is free to attend. Limited seating will be available at this event; however, you are welcome to bring your own chair. Dogs are welcome too!
