Join us for a vibrant community festival hosting the Pennsylvania State BBQ Championship on July 26, from 5:00 PM – 9:30 PM & July 27, from 11:00 AM – 9:30 PM!
Over 80 competition teams from the Mid-Atlantic and beyond will vie for more than $29,000 in cash prizes. Winners earn a chance to compete at the annual Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue in Lynchburg, TN, and The American Royal in Kansas City, MO. While professional KCBS teams compete, attendees can enjoy free parking and event entry, food trucks, a selection of beverages including beer and adult slushies, yard games, diverse vendors, and live music on multiple stages. On Friday, there's a People’s Choice Wing Competition, and on Saturday, a People’s Choice Pork Competition. Parking is FREE! Shuttle service is also available FREE of charge from the New Freedom Community Center located at 150 East Main Street, New Freedom. All proceeds from this event will be reinvested locally to develop a dynamic Trail Town Community.
