*** Come join our 10th Anniversary Almost Heaven BBQ Bash in Jawbone Park in downtown Buckhannon, WV. The Mayor and City of Buckhannon have again pledged their 100% support in making the BBQ Bash a tremendous success. This downtown location offers several restaurants, bars, shopping, art galleries, and hotels... all within a few blocks of your site providing an attractive, fun atmosphere for you and your families.
Artists and Crafters will be located in the lot in front of Pop's Furniture in Jawbone Park, right in the center of the event, which should provide maximum visibility and foot traffic to help YOU sell more products. Local officials estimated at least 8,000 - 10,000 attendees during the 2024 event, and we're increasing our event marketing and promotion with 10,000+ color rack cards to be distributed at all WV Welcome/Visitor Centers, area tourist stops, Convention & Visitor Bureaus, and State Parks - again with the sole mission to increase attendance.
