Join us for the 18th Annual Independence BrewBQ!

Saturday, August 24, 2024 • Independence, Iowa

Admittance into Riverwalk Parks is FREE where you can enjoy live music and the purchase of tasty BBQ and cold beverages. The Craft Brew Zone area requires the purchase of a pass and we encourage you to register for the R.A.S.H. Ride Too! Proceeds from the Independence BrewBQ benefit our designated charity partner.

BEER

Our Craft Brew Zone features over 100 craft brews. Passes for the Craft Brew Zone are available in advance or at the gate the day of the event. There are two pass options. The V.I.P. pass (limited number available) gives you the opportunity to sample special V.I.P. beers and access to the zone at 3 p.m. The regular Craft Brew Zone pass gets you into the zone starting at 4 p.m.

BBQ

Overwhelm your senses with outstanding BBQ, slow cooked for hours over hardwood smoke. View our vendors here for a taste of what you can expect this year. Food and beverages are available for purchase starting at Noon at Riverwalk Parks.

BIKES

The R.A.S.H. Ride Too! is set to kick off early in the morning. Ride your bicycle at your own pace around the beautiful rolling landscape of Buchanan County all on hard surfaced roads some of the best in the state. Proceeds from the ride benefit the Buchanan County Four Seasons Trails Association.

BANDS

Bring your lawn chair and enjoy our live music starting in the late afternoon into the evening! Please remember, no outside food or drink, coolers, or pets are allowed in the BrewBQ event area and Craft Brew Zone.
