Shenandoah Valley's only celebration of traditional Virginia whole hog and chicken BBQ and craft beer! We feature some great beers, brew

ed with care right here in our own state; and great BBQ of course. Live Music by the Seven Bends Band

Harness racing starts at 1pm

The Valley's famous Log Splitting contest starts at 1:30pm

Craft Beers, spirits, cider and wine tastings all day; and sold separately if not tasting

Quality Crafters, local foods, apple butter demos and more all day

Want to see how Virginians barbecued whole hogs for hundreds of years? This is a chance to witness it and taste the barbecue cooked the same way it was when George Washington and James Madison hosted barbecues when whole hogs were suspended over a pit dug in the ground filled with oak and hickory coals. This barbecue will be the most authentic Virginia-style barbecue that can be cooked in our times. BBQ tastings from 2-4pm

Please Note: This event is preferred 21+. All tickets are non-refundable. The event will take place rain or shine. All the details at ShenandoahAutumnfest.com
