BBQ Fest

Montgomery County Parks and Recreation’s second annual BBQ Fest Across the River, presented by First Federal Bank, is a free, two-day, family-friendly festival taking place at RichEllen Park on Friday, October 9 from 5:00–9:00 p.m. and Saturday, October 10 from 10:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.  

This community-focused event brings together BBQ lovers, live music, food trucks, football, family fun and now a corn hole tournament in one unforgettable weekend. Whether you're a seasoned pitmaster or just hungry for great food and good times, this is the event you won't want to miss.

Calling All Pitmasters

Do you have what it takes to be crowned BBQ royalty? Join us for a BBQ Contest at RichEllen Park, where teams show off their grilling chops for fun, bragging rights, and cash prizes! Judging takes place on Saturday, October 10 — rain or shine. 

Teams are encouraged to participate in the People’s Choice, where meat is provided and the public votes for their favorite.

People's Choice Tasting 

While entry to the festival is free, foodies won’t want to miss the chance to sample BBQ straight from the competitors! Wyatt Johnson’s People’s Choice tasting tickets are available for $10 and allow you to try delicious BBQ and vote for your favorite.

Tasting samples must be picked up from 11:00–11:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 10. Once you’ve got your samples, enjoy the tasting and cast your vote by 12:30 p.m. Stick around for the awards ceremony at 2:00 p.m. to see who takes home the win!
