Atlanta BBQ Festival:
Pro Team Registration 

The Atlanta Bar-B-Q Club is proud to announce the 9th Annual Atlanta BBQ Festival at Atlantic Station in Atlanta, GA on May 5th and 6th, 2018. We invite you to fire up your grills and join us for a celebration of great BAR-B-Q! We have made some changes to this year’s event to meet the demand of the general public and make the event even better for you, the cooks, that make this event possible. We are anticipating an attendance of more than 10,000 people at this year’s event. Please contact Bob Herndon for any competition bbq related questions at atlbbqclub1@gmail.com or 404-406-1403.

The 2018 Atlanta BAR-B-Q Festival will offer up cooking competitions, entertainment and activities throughout the weekend. The Atlanta BAR-B-Q Festival is the only BAR-B-Q competition in Atlanta’s city limits. Atlantic Station’s special event site (20th Street @ Fowler Street) will once again play host as we welcome over 25 Pro teams to cook up their best to win over $10,000 in trophies and cash prizes. Here’s a list of features for this year’s event:
