Late Night Snacks
In between main dances and late nights on Friday and Saturday, we’ll offer snacks to graze on.
Saturday, May 24 Cookout & Sides Competition
Purchase a picnic pass if you want to eat our items from the grill and the sides competition!
Get ready for a fun, outdoor cookout with the Capital Blues organizers! This is going to be reminiscent of neighborhood cookouts and will be a great way to hang out, get to know your fellow attendees, and enjoy the weather.
We’ll be grilling up burgers, hot dogs, and black bean burgers with all the fixins’. (If you want a different vegan/veg option, we’re happy to grill it up for you!)
Sound like a flimsy menu to kick things off? That’s why we need your help. We’re hosting a Sides Competition!
Bring a casserole, medium crockpot, 10″x5″ pan or similar of your standout cookout dish, and get your $20 cookout fee refunded!
Cookout is free to attend, $20 (via online registration) to be fed, or get the $20 refunded by bringing a side.
Sunday, May 25 Catered BBQ & Blues Jam
Purchase a picnic pass if you want us to enjoy the BBQ!
On Sunday, May 26, enjoy a catered BBQ picnic from 2Fifty Texas BBQ!!! Get ready for an ABSOLUTELY mouthwatering spread of chopped brisket, pulled pork and BBQ chicken. No need for a sides competition today because the BBQ will be joined by cornbread, mac n’ cheese, coleslaw, and fire roasted veggies! Lastly, worry not vegan friends, we also have the Federalist Pig tofu burnt ends making a return from last year, plus everybody’s favorite banana pudding!
Plus, we’ll have a very special live blues jam with musicians from the Archie Edwards Blues Heritage Foundation. Music lovers, you’re invited to bring an instrument/your voice and join!
How to attend picnics
Attendance at the picnics is free and open to all, but the food provided by Capital Blues will be limited, so be sure to snag a picnic pass if you want to receive a catered meal. You are also welcome to bring your own food and hang out.
Don’t forget a water bottle, sunscreen, and anything else that makes you happy: picnic blanket and chairs, ukulele, frisbee, your cute dog, board games, etc.
See the Schedule for picnic times and addresses.
