Barbecue and the Hill Country go hand in hand and the LBJ Ranch was known to host many international barbecues during the President’s years in office. On May 17, part of a year-long celebration of the 100th anniversary of the President’s birthday, the Friends of the LBJ National Park hosts a 1960s Bar-B-Que on the banks of the Pedernales River at the LBJ Ranch, an event that celebrates the BBQ for the Organization of American State held here in 1967.
The events begin at 3PM with special tours followed by a welcoming by LBJ Library Actor Michael Stuart, who portrays President Johnson. Entertainment will be provided by the Fort Griffin Fandangle at 5:30PM. The barbecue starts at 6:30.
Tickets are required for the event, which is a fundraiser; visit the Friends of LBJ National Historic Park for online reservations.
