BBQ & Bubbly Festival Brings an Elevated Culinary Experience to Fenton in Cary
Enjoy BBQ from 12+ top chefs & pitmasters, 20 sparkling wines, local beer, mocktails, desserts, and more—all for one inclusive price.
Created by the former co-host of Bubbles & Brisket—a beloved “Triangle” festival that welcomed over 3,000 guests over four years—BBQ & Bubbly offers an elevated experience. Produced by The Wine Centric Show, we're bringing that same spirit to a new home at Fenton, Cary’s premier dining and shopping destination, with all styles of BBQ for Fenton’s first-ever BBQ event!
Each ticket includes unlimited BBQ, sparkling wine, and local beer. Enjoy music, a 360° photo booth, fairy hair, face painting, balloon art, cotton candy, and kids' games at this family-friendly festival, with free entry for children 6 and under. Group specials, BBQ-only (no bubbly) tickets and cocktails also available for purchase.
