(East Texas) One of the biggest parties in East Texas is coming up Saturday, May 9 in Tyler, Texas. The 12th annual Red Dirt BBQ & Music Festival will take place at The Park of East Texas.

What to Expect at the Red Dirt BBQ Festival

At least seventeen of the Lone Star State's best pitmasters will be showing off their skills when it comes to smoking meats. Brisket, sausage, turkey, and more will be in the smokers all night long just waiting to be served up to festival goers on May 9.

In addition to all the barbecue many of these talented pitmasters will be creating some phenomenal and mouthwatering sides and desserts too. From homemade potato salad to jalapeño baked beans, banana pudding, peach cobbler, and more, your taste buds will be in heaven as they savor all those wonderful flavors.
