We are proud to announce the Downtown Neighborhood Association’s inaugural “BBQ on Beale” Community Dinner, set for Thursday, April 23, from 5–8 PM. This one-of-a-kind community dinner will transform Beale Street between 2nd & BB King into a vibrant, open-air dining room, complete with long rows of tables draped in red-and-white checkered linens and glowing overhead string lights. It will also feature LIVE MUSIC. The idea stems from our very successful “Meal on Main” event, which we hosted last October along Main Street and which drew more than 200 attendees.The celebration begins with live music and a happy hour from 5–6:30 PM, when Beale Street bars and restaurants will be featuring happy hour drink specials for all event ticket holders. This is a great way to support our local Beale Street anchors. Dinner will be served from 6:30–8 PM and will feature BBQ plates or sandwiches with pulled pork or pulled chicken, baked beans, slaw, and chips.
After dinner, we encourage ticket holders to patronize the “after-party specials”inside Beale Street bars and restaurants, support those businesses, and enjoy any live music they may have that evening. Several establishments along the street will offer drink specials & other discounts to those with “BBQ on Beale” tickets.
"BBQ on Beale is more than just a dinner—it’s a celebration and collaboration of our community and for our community. As we gather at one long table on one of the most iconic streets in the world, we’re reminded of the strength, pride, and unity that make our downtown community so special. What better way to support our Beale Street businesses than to bring residents and other business owners to this legendary street to gather for a dinner under the lights while also shopping and supporting the shops, bars, and restaurants along the block!" said Downtown Neighborhood Association President Jerred Price.
