The Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce presents its annual Brighton Smokin' Jazz & Barbecue Blues Festival this September in downtown Brighton. Event hours are Friday, Sept. 9 5-11pm and Saturday noon-11pm. 

Award-winning barbecue will once again be smokin' up Main Street from Grand River to First Street; serving up ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, pork tenderloin, sweet treats, specialty mac n' cheese and much more. Come and check out some amazing vendors, and put in your vote for the People's Choice Best Barbecue!
