For 10 years, this food festival has been tempting Orlandoans with both meaty delights and copious suds from local pitmasters and craft breweries. Brisket, ribs, smoked chicken, IPAs and sundry craft beers are the order of the day, and participating businesses are more than up to the task. Carnivores can let their meats and spirits digest harmoniously while taking in live entertainment and college football, or playing games and browsing vendors from all around the area.
2-7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, Cranes Roost Park, 274 Cranes Roost Blvd., Altamonte Springs, beerbaconandbbq.com, free-$39.
