BBQ in the Burg returning to downtown Williamsburg this weekend

If you love BBQ and cars, then Williamsburg has just the event lined up for you this weekend.

The second annual BBQ in the Burg is being held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Green Space on Main in downtown Williamsburg. The event will coincide with the first Cumberland River Cruise-In of the season, which will be just across the road along N. Third Street next to the old Whitley County Courthouse.

There will be a variety of BBQ dishes available for attendees to try out and wristbands for taste testing will be $10.

There will be prizes for best pulled pork, best pulled chicken and best ribs, as well as a prize for people’s choice.

In addition to the booths offering BBQ dishes, there will also be local vendor booths that will have merchandise for sell.

Williamsburg Main Street Manager Jonathan Wyatt said that he was excited to bring the event back this year, encouraging everyone to come out and attend.

Wyatt also noted that community participation in downtown events influences the possibility of new and future events.
