Get ready for the most luminous night of the year! Pit & Pendulum BBQ is thrilled to announce we’ll be serving up the best slow-smoked meats at the spectacular Great Baltimore Lantern Parade & Dia de Los Muertos Festival!
Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 25, 2025. This massive, free community celebration, presented by Creative Alliance and The Friends of Patterson Park, transforms Patterson Park into a vibrant hub of art, music, and light.
The Magic Starts at 4:00 PM
The festival kicks off at 4:00 PM with lantern making, performances, a costume contest, and an arts market. As the sun sets, the real spectacle begins, with the glowing floats and thousands of participants lighting up the night for the parade at 7:00 PM.
Look for the Pit & Pendulum BBQ food truck in the official festival food area! We’re bringing our award-winning menu right to the heart of the celebration. That means you can grab a plate piled high with melt-in-your-mouth Brisket, fall-off-the-bone Ribs, Pulled Pork, and all your favorite classic sides.
We’ll see you at Patterson Park on October 25th! Be sure to follow us on insta @pitandpendulumbbq for our exact truck location on the day of the event!
