Every fall, downtown Bessemer City comes alive with the sights, sounds, and flavors of the Brew & Que Festival! This annual celebration brings together the best of Southern living—mouthwatering barbecue, craft beer from local brewers, and live music that fills the streets with energy and joy.
At the heart of the festival is the BBQ competition, proudly sanctioned by the Southern BBQ Network, where pitmasters fire up their smokers and showcase the true art of slow-cooked perfection. But the fun doesn’t stop there—local craft breweries set up along the streets, pouring everything from crisp lagers to bold IPAs and seasonal favorites. Pair that with a wide variety of food vendors serving up festival favorites, tasty sides, and sweet treats, and you’ve got a flavor-filled day for everyone.
The Brew & Que Festival is a gathering of neighbors, friends, and families, all coming together to celebrate the heartfelt charm of Bessemer City.
Come hungry, come thirsty, and most of all, come ready to enjoy the best of small-town living!
