How I Spent My Saturday At Beer Bourbon & BBQ Festival In Wilmington

Author Deanna Marie

Last weekend was a great way to spend a little more time outside and soak up the last bits of summer. I was honored to attend and host an amazing event. It was the Beer Bourbon & BBQ Festival in Wilmington, Delaware.

The event was Saturday August 19th on the Riverfront in Wilmington.

If you weren’t there, you missed a ton of fun! But I’m not here to make you feel bad. I’m here to urge you to attend next year! There was a great selection of pulled pork from whole hogs, ribs, brisket, chickens, sausages and all the fixins’ you can imagine.

With over 100 combined beers and bourbons to sample, we did not go thirsty!

The live entertainment was on point. Two great bands out of Baltimore, MD performed that day and brought to totally different feels. Under the Covers ended the day with fun, upbeat versions of almost every hit from every genre of music. They went from Harry Styles Watermelon Sugar to  Blink 182 What’s My Age Again?.

Mallow Hill kicked the day off with the sultry sounds of hard rockin’ female vocals covering all types of rock including the Allman Brothers and Led Zeppelin.

We had our fill of delicious smoked meats and great local brews.

I had the pleasure of hopping up on stage and introducing the 2nd band with none other than Matt Cord from our sister station, Classic Rock 102.9 WMGK.

It was a great day full of fun, sun and great food and drinks. What more could you ask for?

Make sure you mark your calendar for next year’s Beer Bourbon and BBQ Festival!

The Best Of Delaware Party Is Not An Event To Be Missed

Last night we had the pleasure of attending the 2023 Best Of Delaware party, courtesy of Delaware Today Magazine. We only hope to be able to go every year because it is not an event you want to miss!

Let’s start with the venue. Walking into the Chase Center always feels like you’re about to have a good time. The large venue with high ceilings and bright lights make you feel like you’re inside a stadium.

Early VIP entry into the event got you access to food and drinks before the crowds.

The Best of Delaware

The Best that Delaware had to offer was in the house last night. From delectable dishes to craft cocktails, it was all perfection. Local boutiques and spas attended, on site manicures were available, shopping and the silent auction were a WOW factor.

Jellyroll, a Philadelphia area band that performs everywhere from NYC to DC, kept the room moving with their ultimate hits.

 

Did we mention the food?
