I love Summer! It’s a great time to get out and explore all that Atlanta has to offer – like the 6th Annual Atlanta Bar-B-Q Festival which kicks off this Friday, and runs through August 16th at Atlantic Station.  I can already smell the smokey, mouth-watering goodness!

During this 2-day celebration of all thing bar-b-que, 50 professional and backyard teams from across the Southeast compete for more than $10,000 in prizes by working their magic on the grill. From Texas, Memphis and Carolina to Kansas City and Kentucky – you’ll find all the finger lickin’ sticky sweet bar-b-que styles this weekend right here in Atlanta.

Voted as one of the best BBQ festivals and competitions in the country by the Travel Channel, festival goers have plenty to keep them busy when they need a break from chowing down. There are BBQ cooking demonstrations, a kids area, a BBQ marketplace, live music and new this year – the bourbon experience.

For more information, and to purchase tickets, check out the the Altanta Bar-B-Que Festival website.

See y’all there!
