Good food for a great cause? Count us in.

The fourth annual Southern Roots BBQ Reunion returns Saturday, April 12 at Trailblazer Park in Travelers Rest, SC — just a 3.5-hour drive from Charleston.

Feast on all-you-can-eat barbecue from 35+ pitmasters (think: Home Team BBQ, Swig & Swine, and more), enjoy live music, shop the artisan market, and savor a selection of beer, wine, and spirits. Plus, every ticket supports IDefine, a nonprofit supporting kids with Kleefstra Syndrome.
