4th Annual Blues, Brews & BBQ Just Around the Corner 
Westland, MI - One of Westland's most anticipated community events is just around the corner: The 4th Annual All-American Blues, Brews, & Barbecue event will be held on Friday, September 12 and Saturday, September 13. The event has become a staple for Westland families, friends, foodies and music fans alike.
 
This year, Blues, Brews, & Barbecue will have a new home, the newly opened Farmers Market Pavilion in Central City Park, located at 1901 S. Carlson. The Pavilion is sure to provide an extra spark to this year's event, just as it has with the Market Days on Thursdays. 

The Market Pavilion will be transformed into festival grounds for the weekend and offer attendees a rocking line-up of local bands, mouthwatering barbecue from some favorite local establishments, and a variety of craft microbrews provided by Westland's own Ashley's Beer & Grill. 

The participating restaurants this year include: Ashley's Beer & Grill, Hickory BBQ, Beaver Creek, Kona Ice, Max & Erma's, Famous Dave's, Longhorn Steakhouse, Texas Roadhouse, and Biggby Coffee. And this year's Blues, Brews, & BBQ event has had a full-slate of generous sponsors, including: Buffalo Wild Wings, Ritter GIS, North Brothers Ford, Fausone Bohn, LLP, Gordon Chevy, Westland DDA, Parkside Dental, Plante Moran CRESA, Independent Carpet One, Bidigare Contractors, Mich Chiropractic, Laurencelle Properties, Westland Car Care, Universal Learning Academy, My Lady Florist, and Facility Matrix. 

The festivities will kick-off on Friday, September 12 at 6 pm and go until 10 pm. On Saturday, September 13 the event begins at 12 noon, just in-time for some lip-smacking barbecue for lunch, and will run until 10 pm.
