Brighton's Smokin' Jazz & Barbecue Blues Festival

The Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce and First National Bank are pleased to present the 11th Annual Brighton's Smokin' Jazz & Barbecue Blues Festival in downtown Brighton. Join us for the tastiest of barbecue, the smoothest of jazz and... of course, the bluest of blues!

Award winning barbecue will once again line Main Street from Grand River to First Street, serving up the tastiest of ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, pork tenderloin, sweet treats and more. Food will be served on Main Street 5:00PM - 11:30PM on Friday and 12:00PM - 11:30PM on Saturday.

Jazz and blues will be live at the music stage located on Mill Pond Lane (in the municipal parking lot behind Jack's Custard) both Friday and Saturday, 5:00PM - 11:30PM.  Ages 21 and over after 9PM.

"Brighton's Smokin' Jazz & Barbecue Blues Festival is certainly a signature event for Livingston County," states Pam McConeghy, President and CEO of the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce. "It has brought a considerable amount of attention to downtown Brighton and has helped to stimulate its vibrant economy. The festival brings jazz, blues and barbecue enthusiasts to Brighton from all across the region. We're looking forward to another successful event, and for our downtown to once again be packed to the max!"

Come for the food, stay for the music!

Friday 5:00PM - 11:30PM
Saturday 12:00PM - 11:00PM
