New Town Festival: Blues, Brews & BBQ
The Blacksburg Museum & Cultural Foundation will host its Annual Blues, Brews, & BBQ event on Saturday, September 19, at the St. Luke & Odd Fellows Hall, a nationally recognized historic landmark that once served as the social center of New Town, a neighborhood for Black residents during segregation.
Members of the Blacksburg Museum & Cultural Foundation’s St. Luke & Odd Fellows Hall Committee offer programming like Blues, Brews & BBQ to memorialize the kinds of activities that historically occurred in the building and former New Town.
Beer & wine, barbeque, and sweet treats will be available for purchase from Blue Ridge Beverage and Kirk’s Famous BBQ. Additionally, the New River Blues Society will be on site with their organization’s information and as event support.
Admission is free, though a $10 donation is suggested. All funds will help our exhibit redesign at the St. Luke & Odd Fellows Hall, slated for a grand reopening on Juneteenth 2027!
Seating is limited, so you may wish to bring chairs.
