What to know:
Every year in September we shut down Main Street and turn it into one of the fastest growing block parties around.
This event begins at 10am and goes until 6pm.
It is free to attend, but Rib tasting and voting requires a VIP ticket.
We invite 18 cookers to come to the ultimate rib smoking standoff.
The cooking starts bright and early, right on Main Street.
As the day breaks, the real fun begins...tasting!
Want to try some of these amazing ribs, and judge for yourself?
Purchase a VIP ticket that entitles you to sample 9 entries.
Your VIP ticket is the only way to sample the competition ribs and these tickets are limited to 100! Included with your VIP ticket you may cast your vote for People's Choice Award, two free drink tickets and voting tickets for salsa, chili, pickle and homebrew as well as a SWAG bag full of great items from our Sponsors!
