SunBBQ Fest at Mohegan Sun June 13th & 14th 2015

SunBBQ Fest Returns To Mohegan Sun Rain or Shine

SunBBQFest takes over the Winter Parking Lot and it's tie to get fired up for some finger-lickin’ fun during Sun BBQFest.

On June 13th & 14th, savor the flavors of the best barbecue around with festivities featuring live music, a beer trailer, barbecue battles, local vendors, food trucks and so much more you can sink your teeth into!

Tickets for the event are $5.00 per day and go on sale Friday, April 24th through the Mohegan Sun Box Office. Children 6 and under have free admission!

Wings, Ribs & More!
Get in on all the BBQ action and decide who reigns supreme during the People’s Choice Contest all weekend long. Purchase samples from each vendor and cast your vote for the ultimate best at Sun BBQFest. Competition remains fierce on Saturday with a Wing Contest from Noon to 3:00pm followed by a Rib Challenge from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. For $5.00, each contest offers a sampling of wings or ribs for you to judge! A portion of the proceeds benefits the Sun BBQFest official charity, Operation BBQ Relief.

If relaxed, non-competetive snacking is more your style, peruse the impressive lineup of food trucks and vendors! The Wethersfield Famer’s Market will be on-site offering some of the best fare alongside the endless supply of Kansas City BBQ Society meats and over 30 vendor options to choose from! Wash it all down with a selection of beers including Bud, Bud Light, Yuengling and Sam Adams. Select cocktails will also be offered for $7.00, perfectly refreshing on a hot summer day!

Entertainment Galore
No festival would be complete without some live entertainment. The Winter Parking Lot spices things up with music, demos and a fireworks show to celebrate summertime and all things BBQ.
Be entertained all weekend long with live music on the main stage. Green Tea Band, Whiskey & Rye, Jay Dempsey Band, The Attiks and the Stephanie Hansen Band will be providing the beats for this epic parking lot party. Throughout the weekend, learn the tricks of the BBQ trade during demos and Q&A sessions on the main stage.

Saturday night goes out with a bang! 
Don’t miss a spectacular fireworks display. The fireworks kick off at 9:30pm and are guaranteed to be fun for the whole family.
