Description

Announcing the first-annual Darwin Brewing Co Ribfest! An amateur BBQ team competition, live music all day, patriotic costume contest, and of course... a full lineup of DBC craft brews perfect for pairing with summer barbecues.

Event Details

In addition to mouthwatering BBQ, we'll also enjoy the fireworks spectacular scheduled to go off after the Marauders game at LECOM Park (~9:30p).

Teams of amateur and professional BBQ chefs will be cooking up RIBS for our celebrity judges to "pick apart," and Ribfest attendees can get in on the tasty action, too! Receive one sample from each team in exchange for a $10 donation, all proceeds donated to Turning Points Yellow Ribbon Veterans’ Program.

Do you think your ribs will smoke the competition? Our competition is FREE to enter (you supply everything needed to make & serve your ribs).... And the chef who creates the Best Overall Rib will win a $200 Darwin Brewing Company tab!

4:30-5:45p... Dan & Becca Shafer (The Dram) will open the show with a blend of violin and distorted guitar that walks the line between Southern Rock and Folk.
6:15-7:45p... All Day Tuck combine acoustic melodies, warm string patterns, and rocking back beat rhythm, All Day Tuck keeps the listeners asking for more!
8-10:00p... Have Gun, Will Travel have a natural instinct for combining folk, pop, rock and classic country influences to create a sound all their own.

Guests can show his/her American spirit by donning an All-American costume for the costume contest Channel your inner Uncle Sam, G.I. Joe, the Statue of Liberty… heck, dress up like an eagle if that flutters your feathers! The Most Patriotic Costume as selected by our celebrity judges will win a 64oz. DBC growler & fill.
