We had a blast at the 2017 Kings Dominion BBQ & Brew Fest kick-off! This is the 3rd season of this tasty food festival where Kings Dominion guests can experience delicious BBQ, the best local craft beers, and live entertainment!
Thank you Kings Dominion for inviting us to eat all the things!
The Food
The recipes were created by their new executive chef and trust me, when you step into Candy Apple Grove, home of the BBQ & Brew Fest, your mouth will start watering.
Just look at that Memphis-style Mac & Cheese.
Seriously those ribs though!! Find these Dry Rub Ribs at the Memphis stand.
Beer
Craft beer lovers you have to get yourself to the BBQ & Brew. Local breweries will be on hand to answer questions while you sample their best pours. Don't worry wine drinkers, there are wines to try out as well.
Grab a souvenir BBQ & Brew mug to take home!
Music
While you chow down on all the things, enjoy love music and entertainment during each day of the festival. There is a nice big clearing if you want to show off your dance skills.
You can see all the fun we had at the BBQ & Brew Fest on the vlog!
Taste Tokens
Purchase your Taste Tokens, online or at the park, to enjoy all of what the BBQ & Brew Fest has to offer. Items range from 2 tokens to 4. Each “tasting” is the Kings Dominion equivalent to a sample size.
Chicken Lollipops with tangy mustard BBQ sauce located at the Georgia stand. I highly recommend these. We had to get more because my daughter stole mine!
She doesn't look like she feels bad at all does she?
It wouldn’t be a day at Kings Dominion without enjoying all the fun they have to offer!
You know it's going to be a fun day when Snoopy welcomes you to the park with music and a photobomb!
After the kids chowed down on delicious food, we headed over to Soak City! DID YOU KNOW: Soak City is included FREE with your regular admission to Kings Dominion? It's like two parks in one!
With all the amazing happenings at Kings Dominion coming up in the Fall, you DO NOT want to miss out! Buy your tickets today!

That looks like a lot of fun – and your kids really look like they had fun with it! We don’t have BBQ fests, here – but we do have seafood fests.
I would love to get my hands on some good BBQ! We have a lot of great food in upstate NY but we’re sorely lacking in the bbq department
That looks like y’all had a beautiful day to really enjoy this! All the food looks great and the kids look like are having a blast
Now, this is my kind of event. I love any event where good food is present. I am such a self-proclaim foodie.
I’ve never been to Kings Dominion before but this looks like so much fun! The food looks delicious and it seems like there’s alot to do for the family too! BTW, I LOVE your dress!
How fun! It looks like your family had a great time and the food looks amazing!
Those dry rub ribs look relish! We haven’t been to Kings Dominion in years. I’d love to go back during this fun fest. I’m such a foodie!
This sounds so fun. Can’t believe we’ve never been to kings dominion.
That looks like a lot of fun. I’ll bet those ribs were delicious
This sounds great – I wish they’d have events like this in the UK!
Now that’s a day to come to completely hungry! The bbq looks amazing! Looks like everyone really had a great time!
Oh wow this sounds like such a great festival, I would totally be up for the BBQ I would want to try so much and the other half would love a brew or two.
That is a good idea for them to branch out into a rib fest. Those draw big crowds and are a lot of fun for everyone. Cool that you and your family got to go.
Oh yum! I’m all about fests that deal with food, so I’d be happy going here. I want a chicken lollipop!
Looks like a good time. I haven’t made it to Kings Dominion yet but would like to that few hours away is whats slowing the process down. Bbq and brews I think that makes something for everyone. Haha I’ll take the bbq.
Oh my goodness, it’s been YEARS since I’ve been to Kings Dominion! The food looks delicious, especially the chicken lollipops!
Wow that sounds great… Seems you guys had fun.. Those are some great pictures 🙂
This looks like an awesome place. Food looks dee-licious and I am sure you must have had an amazing time. Great pics too!
The last time I participate on brew fest is last October with the German Club. This is exciting! Foods, BBQ and beers!
I am so jealous! I want to participate in brew fest! The food and the beers look amazing! I bet you had an awesome time
Great pictures! I love that this even was fun for the whole family! The video is major precious!
I’ll investigate whether we have anything similar in the uk.
I for one would have loved to have gone to this event. Not only all the great BBQ that you have there, but the craft beers would have tempted me greatly.
This event looks so fun! You all look like you enjoyed yourselves! I love BBQ and love trying new recipes. I would enjoy this event myself.
I think it’s obvious this was a success if the smiles on their faces are any indication! Glad you had a nice time!
Looks like a wonderful festival. I love to go to them. The BBQ looks fabulous.
That food looks just incredible, I love good barbecue food and that definitely fits the bill.
