Barbeque and Country music. They go together. Cincinnati loves them. At Blue Ash’s 11th annual SummerBration, you get both. Tagged as the city’s “largest free Country music festival,” the live music kicks off Friday when Mississippi natives Crossin’ Dixon open for the 13-time Grammy-nominated guys from Diamond Rio. On Saturday, SummerBraters can check out Keith Anderson — who helped co-write the well-known “Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In)?” with Garth Brooks — before Rodney Atkins takes the stage. Mark Wills, Jeff Bates and Trent Willmon make up Sunday’s Honky Tonk Tailgate Party, with James Otto closing out the weekend of music. All this Country got you hungry? Attendants can choose from the following local pulled pork eateries: The BBQ Cabin, Boston Butz Inc., City Barbeque, Eddie’s Southern-style Bar-B-Q & Catering, Vonderhaar’s Market & Catering, Inc. and Walt’s Barbeque. Finger-lickers welcome. Not in the mood for pulled pork? Relax, Donato’s will be there selling pizza too. 6-11 p.m. Friday; 3-11 p.m. Saturday; 1-10 p.m. Sunday.
