Posted May 15th, 2015 by Joe Hayden
If you like BBQ, you’re going to love the Pitt BBQ Festival. This annual event is well-known for tasty eats and the festival atmosphere that brings people together from all parts of Louisville. You’ll find it on Preston Highway, one of the most active areas of the city.
BBQ Festival
Bring your appetite with you to 6010 Preston Highway at 4 pm, and get ready to eat some tasty food. The Pitt BBQ Festival lasts until 11 pm, so you’re going to have plenty of time to taste everything.
You’ll smell the festival before you see it. Slow-cooked meats will be roasting all day long to turn into tender, delicious bites. While you eat, listen to blues music that will be played all during the festival. Stop at one of the many game booths to see if you can win a prize.
There’s an entire children’s area to keep younger members of the household busy while you enjoy the day with people from all over Louisville. The Preston Highway area is well-known for its shopping and its restaurants, but on May 16 the most delicious smells are coming from the Pitt BBQ pits.
Old Hickory Pitt BBQ artists are responsible for the meats. They’re serving up mutton, pork and chicken. Enjoy side dishes of potato salad, cole slaw, Burgoo and of course, beans. All the proceeds support the Pitt Academy. This non-profit school offers a unique learning environment for children who have autism and other disabilities. Doing a good deed never tasted so good at the Pitt BBQ Festival.
