It’s another year of fun and food for Decatur BBQ & Bands Festival! 

The second annual Decatur BBQ & Bands Festival is happening on September 30, 2023 at Ford’s BBQ & Harmony Park, Oakhurst Village! 

This year's festival, hosted by Ford's BBQ, benefits the Solarium. The Solarium is a Decatur-based non-profit organization that supports the community through sponsoring and supporting events, as well as granting grants to other non-profit organizations throughout Atlanta. 

Ford's BBQ began as a dream over a decade ago and will open in late 2020. Established as an Atlanta staple for decades, Ford’s BBQ understands the value of community and enjoys celebrating it whenever possible – including this sumptuous food fest! 

The Decatur BBQ and Bands Festival allows everyone to enjoy BBQ and music with family, friends, and neighbors. You won't want to miss out on the variety of food, beverages, music, desserts, family activities, and craft sellers!

The annual music and BBQ festival is a wonderful fundraiser for the Decatur community, with delicious food and 7+ hours of live acoustic music. The headliner this year is Grammy-nominated G Love & The Juice! 

Atlanta's best BBQ restaurants will be dishing up delectable dinners alongside local favorites. A large range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available from a number of merchants. Local BBQ Vendors will provide vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan food options alongside a dessert tent and King of Pops onsite.
