Dirtybird started with a grill and some speakers in San Fran and, needless to say, they've spent the last ten-plus years expanding and perfecting their recipe for summer fun: good food, good people and some seriously saucy, booty-shaking tunes.
This year's Detroit BBQ is a TWO-DAY affair, affectionally dubbed the "Double-D" BBQ by VonStroke. We're stacking the grounds out with fair activities and goodies like Best in Show contests, tons of carnival games and Detroit-exclusive t-shirts. And the grub? For only $20 a day, you get a full plate of authentic BBQ deliciousness from SLOWS BAR BQ.
If you've purchased a BBQ Feast pass, the BBQ plates will be available from 5-7pm daily.
