RAIN OR SHINE!
The Naptown barBAYq is held each May at the Anne Arundel County Fairgrounds in Crownsville, MD. Thousands of Festival go-ers from the Mid-Atlantic come out to enjoy live music, great food and a KCBS sanctioned barbecue competition. It is a family affair with live music, kids’ activities, arts and crafts vendors and cooking demonstrations. Get your tickets ahead of time for our People’s Choice competition – you be the judge!
Naptown barBayq proudly supports the Rotary Club of Parole. If you are interested in volunteering, please click here.
