The variety of roots music is the centerpiece of Rhythm & Roots, but the food is just as diverse.

Choose from barbecue ribs, Cajun/Creole specialties, chowder and clam cakes, gyros, Middle Eastern food and desserts, along with craft beers, wine, frozen lemonade and other beverages.

Craft vendors also sell their handmade gifts at the festival, and a Rhythm & Roots booth will offer T-shirts, sweatshirts, water bottles, wine glasses and other R&R swag.
