2. Bluegrass and BBQ Festival

The Buzz -- Dive headlong into Americana at this popular theme park festival, whose name readily indicates its theme. Over the course of several weeks, dozens of bands and hundreds of performances prove the longevity of the musical genre, and new and established talents illustrate every variation of the style. Enjoy the tunes while you tuck into succulent smoked meats (beef brisket, pulled pork, chicken, and sausages) dressed with lip-smacking sauces and a delightful spread of cobblers and pies.
