Brewgrass in the Barn: A Jug Bay BBQ, Bluegrass & Beer Fundraiser

Join Southern Anne Arundel county’s only BBQ, beer, and bluegrass jam that pairs great food, tunes, and brews with an exceptional cause – conservation, research, and education at Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary. This 1700 acre nature preserve is the largest contiguous tract of county wildland along the Patuxent River welcoming visitors from across the county (and the world) to marvel at Maryland’s nature. Local musicians and bands will be featured throughout the day on our barn stage. Good To Da Bone BBQ will offer delicious BBQ options for purchase and Mully’s Brewery will be pouring a selection of their most popular craft brews with your first beer included in the festival ticket price.

Due to limited on-site parking, ALL event guests will be shuttled to the festival from this park & ride just a 3 min drive away. A courtesy shuttle will be running every 15-20 min throughout the event.

$30 per adult 21 years of age or older (1st beer pour included)
$20 per child or designated driver

STANDARD TICKETS (May 1 and after):

This is a fundraiser. All event proceeds benefit the Friends of Jug Bay, an affiliated nonprofit funding education, research, and stewardship efforts at Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary.
