‘Dumfries Bar-B-Que Battle’ returning to Multicultural Festival

On Saturday, May 14, 2016, the Town of Dumfries will be hosting its Annual Multicultural Festival in Garrison Park, located behind Town Hall at 17755 Main Street in Dumfries. The Festival will kick off at 11 a.m. and run until 4 p.m.

This FREE event will be fun for the whole family and will feature live performances, music, vendors, food, face painting, a bounce house, and more! The festival will once again host the “Dumfries Bar-B-Que Battle” and will allow festival goers to sample each participating vendor’s entry before casting their vote to name the winner.
