BBQ Competition
A BBQ competition pitting local and regional BBQ masters will be held on Saturday, judged by a panel of BBQ judges trained by a Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) judge. This will be a non-sanctioned event.
Live Music & Family Entertainment
We'll have live music from Five Dollar Shake, Midnight Express, and Shades of Gray throughout the day! In addition, we'll have a face painter, balloon twister, caricature artist, and a wandering juggler for the kids. Lawn games such as cornhole, limbo, and horseshoes will be available for everyone to use. Finally, a fireworks show will close out the event in a nod to Uncle Billy's Day.
Beer and Bourbon
Local and regional breweries and distilleries will be present to provide samples, with the ability to purchase drinks as well. This opportunity is available to all ticket holders ages 21 and up. Attendees will also have the option of upgrading to a VIP package, which provides them 2 free drinks, a free BBQ meal, a commemorative 16-ounce cup, a collectable event token, and premium parking access.
