Description:

Summer truly arrives in Montana when the annual Blues, Brews, and Barbecue event takes over downtown Philipsburg.

Local barbecue masters showcase their skills, sharing tips while the air fills with the mouthwatering aromas of ribs, pulled pork, and tri-tip—much of it sourced from nearby ranches. This savory feast is complemented by award-winning beers from microbreweries across the state, all set to the smooth sounds of live blues music. Don’t miss this Philipsburg Ice Association fundraiser, where you can sample the best of Granite County, sip beers and ciders from over 15 Montana breweries, and enjoy a lively afternoon with friends and family as you stroll down Broadway Street.

The 2025 Blues, Brews, and Barbecue fundraiser will take place on June 14th from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is $30, which includes an event glass and a beer. The barbecue competition judging begins at 5 p.m.—and then the eating starts! Plates are $25 for adults and $10 for kids under 12. Do you have a winning sauce? To enter the 2025 barbecue competition, call 406.616.2873.
