Join us for a day of summertime fun at the Glen Ellyn Backyard BBQ!
This community festival features an amateur BBQ competition, live music, delicious food and drink vendors, and plenty of fun for the kiddos at our Piglet Playland. This year, we're celebrating 18 years of the GEBYBBQ and welcoming some of the best acts in town to our stage.
Best of all, this event raises thousands of dollars in support of the families facing homelessness served by Bridge Communities. Your support helps Bridge Communities change lives, one family at a time.
