This three-day event featuring BBQ, local craft beer, live music and interactive family activities will be one of the biggest events of the summer. Returning to the event will be Galloping Grace Youth Ranch who will participate in the event, showcasing a petting zoo and pig races throughout the weekend.
“I’m happy to announce Rio Rancho’s own 14th Annual Pork and Brew event,” said Rio Rancho Mayor, Gregg Hull. “This is a great family-friendly event, which just happens to serve up the best BBQ in the region, and I can’t wait to partake in three days of food and fun.”
