Every second weekend in May (7, 8 and 9 May), Owensboro springs to life with the wonderful smells and sounds of the International Bar-B-Q Festival. Smoke from hickory-stoked fires blends with the aromas of sizzling chicken, bubbling burgoo and roasting mutton to complete the festival atmosphere.

The competition is fierce and the flavors rich as local cooking teams produce the best that their secret recipes have to offer in an effort to win the Governor?s Cup, the prize awarded to the best overall Bar-B-Q cooking team. Even backyard grill masters get lean and mean during The Classic Cook-Off competition, preparing delectable treats to share with festivalgoers.

The International Bar-B-Q Festival serves up non-stop entertainment that is sure to please all ages. Three main stages provide a venue for performances featuring a variety of music and dancing that highlight local, regional and national talent.

Carnival rides, face painting, pie- and mutton eating contests and the Festival?s Family Pavilion provide fun for the entire family. Children and young adults can strut their stuff in one of the many scheduled festival pageants.

Dive right into the Festival experience as a spectator or participant in the horseshoe tournament, golf challenge, burgoo relay, keg toss and basketball tournament. Work up an appetite, test your speed and endurance or stretch your legs by competing in the annual 5K Run/Walk.

If there is any spare time, try browsing and shopping festival style. The classic car show offers a chance for festival attendees to peruse a great number of stunning automobiles. Spend hours browsing over 100 booths filled with handmade arts and crafts and a selection of festival souvenirs.

Car Show on Saturday (AVALANCHE TIME!!! >:D)
The Sunset Cruisers Car Club proudly presents the annual International Bar-B-Q Festival Car Show. Enthusiasts from all around the region come to enter the sweet rides in this nail-biting contest. Stop by to check out the machinery or enter your own mean machine for a chance to win door prizes, awards and bragging rights.

I thought Hawaii was Paradise, guess I will have to try this. Plus, 7 May is my wife's birthday!!! Anyone else interested in going?

Yee Ha,
Murman ;D
