The 18th annual Decatur BBQ Blues & Bluegrass Festival will stomp its way into Oakhurst once again on August 11.

This year’s musical lineup will “offer the festival goer a bit of everything while staying true to our blues and bluegrass roots,” festival director Michael Vajda said. The performer list includes eight bands from all over, headlined by the Chris Duarte Group.
