Blues & BBQ will return in 2026

But this year, you can join us at Pig & Pint on July 17, 2025, at Field Day Brewing.

Blues & BBQ will not be held in 2025 due to construction of the Hy-Vee Center & Amphitheater in Centennial Park. The festival will return bigger and better than ever on July 11, 2026.

Over the past decade, the City of North Liberty has hosted Blues & BBQ, giant-kite festivals, circus acts and other performances and community events in Centennial Park. That experience laid the foundation and support for a four-phase development of the the park. Coming community amenities include an event center and amphitheater; premier splash pad; expanded and accessible play structures; an open-air pavilion; expansive plaza spaces and pathways to connect amenities; an honor garden; and restrooms, shelters and additional parking. Learn more here and stay in the loop by following Centennial Park’s Facebook page.

Blues & BBQ is North Liberty’s summer tradition of live music, kids’ fun, mouthwatering barbecue and craft beer. Admission, parking and inflatables are free thanks to the generosity of presenting sponsor Veridian Credit Union and other supporting sponsors. The planning committee is made up of business leaders, city representatives and North Liberty residents.
