Great Eldorado BBQ, Brews & Blues Festival
Each June, downtown Reno gets fired up for a weekend-long lineup of barbecue bites, beer tastings, and free outdoor concerts from the Eldorado Resort at THE ROW. Thousands of hungry festival-goers descend on the Biggest Little City to sample saucy favorites, sip brews from breweries across the country, and dance in the street.
Downtown Reno shuts down the streets and cranks up the flavor for this sizzling summer kickoff, serving up barbecue and other delights, craft brews, and two stages of free live music.
The BBQ, Brews & Blues Festival is free to attend, with live music, vendors, and plenty of downtown energy open to all. Festival-goers can purchase tasting packages for barbecue and beer samplings, including access to beer tasting packages and VIP Tap Tent options.
Then there’s the barbecue. Dig into St. Louis-style ribs, smoked beef brisket, pulled pork, grilled chicken, sausages, and festival fixings like creamy coleslaw, barbecue baked beans, and cornbread. Other booths round out the spread with street tacos, hot chicken sandwiches, funnel cakes, shaved ice, and more.
