Buds, Blues & BBQ Festival Brings Ultimate Weekend of Flavor and Fun to Columbia, MO September 13-14
24 Julio 2024 - 9:00AM
Get ready for a smokin' hot weekend at the Buds, Blues & BBQ
Festival, taking place September 13-14, 2024 at Midway Travel Plaza
in Columbia, MO. This family-friendly event promises an
unforgettable weekend of soulful live music and finger-lickin' BBQ.
The event is the vision of John Borland, who grew up attending
BBQ festivals in Kansas City, MO, and the popular Roots and Blues
festival previously held in Columbia, MO. "We felt a strong desire
to bring that barbecue culture back to Columbia," said Borland.
"The Roots and Blues festival was a beloved event that brought the
community together and created lasting memories. Many people,
including myself, have missed it deeply. We're excited to revive
that spirit and offer a weekend of great food, music and
camaraderie."
