Big Apple Barbecue Returning To Manhattan In June

FLATIRON, NY — The Big Apple Barbecue festival is returning to Madison Square Park for its 15th year.

The popular food festival, which claims to be the largest of its kind in the U.S., will return to Manhattan in June. The block party-style festival is free for anyone to attend, and you can purchase food and drink on-site or by buy passes in advance here. All proceeds from the weekend benefit the Madison Square Park Conservancy, a nonprofit that manages the park.

The festival was founded in 2002 by the prolific NYC restauranteur Danny Meyer, along with Chef Kenny Callaghan and Mark Maynard-Parisi.
