Silver Dollar City - Bluegrass & BBQ

 



Welcome back to Silver Dollar City

We are currently in Bluegrass and BBQ Festival at the park

The square is lined with numerous quilt patterns

These different patterns are all made out of painted wood

One thing we noticed this year was that there were fewer Bluegrass acts.
Nick Dumas and Branchline was one of the acts today and they were performing at Dockside

Shade was finally added to The Plaza.  The only act performing out here is the City's own Kinfolk Bluegrass Band

It appears that this stand is going to serve Roasted Corn the entire season this year at the Plaza

Only two boutique shops out here for this festival

There were new menu options at the two festival foods stands at the Plaza

They flipped the Red Gold to be The House of Barbeque for this festival

Still looks the same as it did for Spring Exposition, only difference is the menus have changed

They have a stage set up in here, but there are only four performance times all day so we never caught them.  Really sad that the entertainment is not non-stop to drive more traffic in here to buy food

They were busy preparing meat out in the Red Gold Courtyard.

Bluegrass and BBQ only runs May 14-26 this year
We are pretty sure this is the shortest that the festival has ever been.
