The festival was to be held at the Live Oak Pavilion at the Riverfront Park in downtown Wilmington. The event features more than 60 beers, more than 40 bourbons, and different types of barbecue. It was canceled due to the threat of high winds. Tickets for the event were nearly sold out, with around 3,500 people estimated to attend.
