Important Update from the BBQ & Sweet Tea Festival Team

Dear friends, family, and loyal patrons—

We’ve made the decision to pause the BBQ & Sweet Tea Festival for 2025, but don’t worry—we’ll be back in 2026 bigger, better, and smokier than ever! 🔥🍖

We’re taking this time to refresh, retool, and reimagine the festival to make sure it continues to be one of the South’s most beloved events for our amazing vendors, competitors, and guests.

Want to be the first to know about vending opportunities for 2026?
Send us a message with your name, phone number, and email, and we’ll make sure you’re on the priority list when applications open!

Until then…
Ready. Set. GRILL! 🍗🍹
