We are excited to announce our 2nd annual premier food and beverage event at Lowell Township’s BridgeFest on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Bands, Brews & BBQ will feature several of West Michigan’s best pit masters competing in an ultimate BBQ cook-off, showcasing brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and a pit master’s choice category. Several local breweries will also be on site serving a variety of beverages.

 

The smells will be amazing, brews and ciders will be flowing, and bands will be jamming.

​

Bring your friends, neighbors, and family, along with blankets or chairs, as there will be something for everyone throughout the day. All proceeds will support the Township parks and Roanoke Ranch for Kids.
