The Hub City BBQ Fest is coming back to Downtown Jackson!

After an eight-year hiatus, this Kansas City Barbeque Society-sanctioned competition returns with a new name, a fresh partnership, and a powerful mission. In collaboration with the Jacob Barker Music Festival, the weekend will be packed with world-class BBQ, live music, and community spirit — all benefiting Make-A-Wish Midsouth.

From People’s Choice tastings to soulful performances, this is a celebration you won’t want to miss.
