@ Food and Fun Pork in the Park is a Southern Barbecue Network-sanctioned barbecue competition, which brings a deep field of teams and serious judging to a community-friendly festival setting. Expect a mix of barbecue plates, live music, and a relaxed park atmosphere where you can grab a bite, find a seat, and listen for a while. Families are welcome, with kids’ activities and inflatables helping keep the day easy for all ages. BBQ Competition The competition is run under Southern Barbecue Network guidelines, with certified judges scoring teams as they chase Grand Champion honors. Categories typically include chicken, ribs, and Boston butt, giving teams multiple ways to separate themselves across the turn-ins. Music and Family Activities Live music is part of the weekend’s rhythm, making Pork in the Park as much about hanging out as it is about the trophies. Alongside the food and music, you’ll usually find kid-friendly extras like inflatables and treats that fit the festival vibe. Bring your family out to feast on some of the best barbecue in the South!
