The festival features a barbeque chef competition, local craft beer and bourbon.
The barbeque competition is Saturday. Gates open at 11:30 a.m.
Due to COVID-19 and competition rules, the food from the BBQ competition is only for the judges -- so no samples for the public. But the event will have many popular local food trucks on-site, so you can still get your grub on.
There will also be a Kids Zone and a Beer Garden.
