The Phoenix Blues, Brews, and BBQ Festival is family-friendly with local restaurants around the venue and an art center for kids to take part in painting a mural that wraps around the park, so everyone can experience the fun. Parking will be hectic downtown, so it is recommended to take the light rail as transit to the festival.<\/span><\/p>\n

Common things brought to the event are chairs, a blanket, sunscreen, balls or nerf footballs, and frisbees. The park is over a tunnel and filled with electrical wiring underneath, so do not bring anything that sticks into the ground. Also, one water bottle is allowed per person. What’s not allowed are the typical things like coolers, alcohol, and weapons of any kind. If you have any questions, contact the organizer at <\/span>info@phoenixblues.org<\/span><\/a>. Make sure to send questions ahead of time because they won’t be able to respond on the day of the event.<\/span><\/p>\n
