Introduction
Family and friends, both old and new can join in the celebration of BBQ at the 9th Annual Boro BBQ Festival on the historic grounds of Oaklands Mansion in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
This is a FREE event!
11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Come Early, Leave Late!
Bring your folding chairs and blankets!
And don’t say the “R” word!
Smell that smoke, eat some competition-style BBQ, play in the family zone, and watch some of the top cookers in Middle Tennessee compete in the KCBS-sanctioned Dr. George Smith BBQ Brawl. This event annually attracts several thousand visitors to a day of family fun and adventure. Come on down, experience the aroma, and enjoy eating some of the finest BBQ east of the Mississippi River and west of the Great Smoky Mountains. We will roll out the red carpet and keep the lights on.
