Real talk: when’s the last time you had a night out that didn’t involve a juice box, a dropped Cheerio, or negotiating bedtime from a bounce house? Mark your calendar, mama, because your night out just found you.

BBQ & Brew Fest is Coming to Goshen

Saturday, August 8th is the day. The Elkhart County Fairgrounds is the place. And your only job is to show up hungry and ready to have fun.

The party runs from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., which means you’ve got plenty of time to grab dinner, catch some tunes, and maybe not think about laundry for six whole hours.

What’s on Deck

This isn’t your average backyard cookout. We’re talking:

• Craft beer and a full-service bar for the grown-ups
• Amazing burger creations (bring your appetite)
• Live music from The 1984
• A whole kids area so the littles have their own kind of fun too

Yes — you read that right. This is a family event and a date night, all rolled into one. Grandma babysitting? Great, it’s date night. Kids in tow? Also great, there’s a spot for them too.

The Details You Actually Need

Here’s the breakdown on wristbands, because we know you skimmed straight to this part:

• Adults: $80 all-inclusive (covers food, drinks, parking & entertainment)
• Designated drivers: $45
• Students: $20
• Kids under 12: FREE

Pro tip: Head to Gate 2 for parking and admission — that’s your entry point for the whole evening.

It’s All for the Kids

Here’s the best part: every dollar raised goes right back into our community, supporting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County. So that burger you’re about to devour? It’s basically a charitable donation with extra napkins.

You can grab all the ticket info and get all the details on the BBQ & Brew Fest event page to lock in your spot before it sells out.

So tell us — who’s your designated driver this year, and what burger creation are you most excited to try? Drop it in the comments on our Facebook and Instagram, we want to know! 🍔🍺
