Counting down to 'Cuegrass 2026!!!
Hang with us Saturday, April 18, 2026, from noon to 6PM as we shut down Fayetteville Street for one of our favorite traditions.
‘Cuegrass is a celebration of two of North Carolina’s greatest cultural treasures: barbecue and bluegrass. Expect live music, local brews, and plenty of that signature ‘cue from The Pit.
What makes it even better?
100% of proceeds from food and drink sales, Fast Passes, Pit merch, and our Silent Auction go directly to our annual nonprofit partners. Since day one, 'Cuegrass has raised over $240,000 for causes like the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC, Feed the Farm, W.C. Breeze Family Farm, Animal Welfare Approved, NC 4-H, BackPack Buddies, and SAFEchild.
Mark your calendar and come hungry—because good times, good food, and good music can do a whole lot of good!!!
