Third-Annual BBQ in the Burg set for this Saturday

For those who love BBQ and cars, there is an event this weekend in Williamsburg that is just for you.

The third-annual BBQ in the Burg event is being held 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.

At the Green Space, there will be a variety of BBQ dishes available for attendees to try out and wristbands for taste testing will be $5. 

For those who compete, there will be prizes for best pulled pork, best pulled chicken and best ribs, as well as a prize for people’s choice.

Prizes will also be available to participants in the cruise-in.

In addition to the booths offering BBQ dishes, other local vendor booths are expected to be set up that will have merchandise for sell.

Anyone hoping to participate in either the BBQ competition or the cruise-in has until Friday to register. Applications are available at Williamsburg City Hall and the Williamsburg Tourism and Convention Center.
