On August 28th and 29th, Nashville's Riverfront Park will host the First Annual Music City BBQ Festival benefiting Monroe Carell Jr. Childrens Hospital at Vanderbilt and Shriners Hospitals for Children. Over 70 cook teams will compete on what Governor Bredesen has declared "Music City BBQ Fest Day" and the winner will be crowned by executive decree "Tennessee State Barbeque Champion."

In addition to sampling some of the world’s best barbeque, you’ll be treated to an impressive lineup of musical talent featuring headliners The Dirt Drifters and DADDY (Will Kimbrough and Tommy Womack, also serving as guest BBQ judges). Click here for a current festival and entertainment schedule.
