Bourbon, Brews & BBQ at Capitol Park

This Saturday night the smell of BBQ will fill the air in Downtown Detroit because the first annual Bourbon, Brews and BBQ will be taking over Capitol Park. The event will feature food samples from some of Detroit's best BBQ restaurants, over a dozen bourbons, and craft beer. There will even be live music performed by the Priceless Band featuring Darrick L. Price.

Tickets to get in to the event are only $15 in advance here. That ticket will not only get you in the gate, but will also get you samples from restaurants, 4 cocktail/beer samples, a commemorative glass, and keepsake photos. That's quite the deal! If you're still thirsty after your 4 beverages, you can buy another round of samples for $5. The price of admission will increase if you wait to pay at the gate. It will cost $20 if you pay cash or $23 with a card. However, all of the money raised is going to the Detroit 300 Conservancy, the group that keeps Campus Martius and other area parks alive and well. So even if you have to pay a few extra bucks, you'll be helping to keep Detroit beautiful!

Bourbon, Brews and BBQ is taking place this Saturday, August 6th from 7-11 p.m. Only those 21+ are welcome to attend. Capitol Park is located at 150 State Street in Downtown Detroit.
