Ready, set, grill: The fourth annual Holy Smokes BBQ Festival presented by Sysco is happening this Saturday, Nov. 9 at Riverfront Park — and it’s not too late to reserve your spot.
From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., you’ll get to watch 50+ of the nation’s best pitmasters and chefs show off their skills. Here’s a taste of what’s on the menu:
- Four distinct barbecue villages (think: Texas, Traditional, Coastal, and “new school” flavors)
- An all-you-can-eat feast featuring slow-smoked hog, pork, and beef ribs + Texas-style brisket, Lowcountry seafood staples, and more
- Live music from The Delta Circus and Last Waltz Ensemble
This family-friendly event offers free admission for kids 6 and under. Plus, you can catch college football games on big screens throughout the day, so you won’t miss a single play.
Pro tip: Grab VIP tickets for exclusive perks, like access to a special VIP area with additional chefs + dishes.
