About this event

Award-winning barbecue and live blues and rock music at The AMP at Mill Pond. Features ribs, pulled pork, and community fun.

What to Expect

  • 1.Arrive early to snag a good view of the stage. The AMP at Mill Pond is outdoors in Downtown Brighton, so bring a small chair or a blanket if you want to sit.
  • 2.Dress for an outdoor evening and wear comfy shoes since you'll be walking between BBQ stalls and the stage.
  • 3.Food lines can move slowly during dinner hour, so plan to share plates with a friend and have a bit of cash on hand for quick purchases.
  • 4.Parking around Downtown Brighton can fill up, so consider off-street lots or rideshare and give yourself extra time.
  • 5.If you are a first timer, strike up a quick chat in the food line about ribs or bands; friendly crowds and good conversations happen naturally here.
