Whole Hog Hoedown at Red Gum BBQ
The annual July 4th party is making another appearance — complete with slow-smoked hog, peach margaritas, line dancing and live Americana music.
Overview
Red Gum BBQ — the biggest craft beer and barbie destination in Australia — is bringing its Independence Day bash back for yet another year. Swing by on Friday, July 4, for 12-hour-smoked hog, peach margaritas, line dancing and live Americana.
Doors open at 5.30pm, and an hour later, pitmaster Martin Goffin will carve the whole beast in front of your eyes. Pile your plate with as many slices as you can handle, along with sides galore, from mac 'n' cheese and pit beans to slaw, pickles and rolls. Then tuck into dessert: homemade s'mores pie.
With all that keeping you fuelled, you'll be ready to power through line dancing lessons and a live Americana band. Need a little motivation to get your toes tapping? Head to the bar for July 4th-inspired cocktails, including a Kentucky Apple Pie and peach margaritas.
Tickets, which include snacks, dinner and the band, are $59. Take the kids along for the ride at $29 a pop.
