Smokin' Tailgate

The Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce and Stardust Threatre Rentals are thrilled to announce the addition of the Smokin’ Tailgate Party hosted within the 6th Annual Brighton Smokin’ Jazz & Barbecue Blues Festival.

As a new tradition of the Brighton Smokin’ Jazz & Barbecue Blues Festival we will be hosting the viewing of the night college football game, Michigan vs. Notre Dame, on a 24 foot screen provided by Stardust Theatre Rentals.

The Smokin’ Tailgate Party will take place in the Municipal Lot just off First Street in downtown Brighton on Saturday September 10 beginning at 8:00pm until the conclusion of the game. The screen will be located in front of City Hall.

The Smokin’ Tailgate Party fits perfectly with the Brighton Smokin’ Jazz & Barbecue Blues Festival. Viewers have barbecue and beer within steps and will have the opportunity to enjoy the game with their friends and the community.

Michigan and Notre Dame have a long standing rivalry and we welcome fans of both teams to come support your favorite college football team.

This year’s Brighton Smokin’ Jazz & Barbecue Blues Festival has more barbecue food vendors and talented entertainers in jazz and blues than ever before. 

The cover charge into the tailgate zone, beverage garden, and entertainment area for all adults 21 and over is $5 while all others enter at no cost.  After 6:00 p.m., no one under the age of 21 will be allowed in the beverage garden.

The cost per beer is $3, Mike’s Hard Lemonade is $4, and wine is $5.
