BBQ, Bluegrass, & Bourbon

G&G and Freshfields Village celebrated three Southern staples—barbecue, bluegrass, and bourbon—with a live music and culinary event on the Village Green. Guests listened to the Bluestone Ramblers with Boonie Bevins and Carolina Drive while sampling a variety of craft barbecue offerings from Fork Grove Barbecue, Swig & Swine, and Palmira Barbecue. Additionally, guests tasted Blade and Bow Bourbon specialty cocktails and shopped retail specials around Freshfields Village and at the Fieldshop by Garden & Gun pop-up.
