    Historic Downtown Franklin hosts its first annual Battle of the BBQ Oct. 29-30, as part of the 27th annual Pumpkinfest event on Main Street. The Memphis BBQ Network has sanctioned the event, and applications are being accepted for professionals and amateurs alike to compete for an impressive line-up of prizes and bragging rights to the best ‘Q! Register here.

    The barbecue competition will be held at the Bicentennial Park location just two blocks from Main Street and on East Main Street between First Avenue and the Public Square. BBQ rigs will be set-up at the park as early as Thursday, Oct. 28, with judging held Saturday, Oct. 30.

    The pros can choose to compete in whole hog, shoulder and/or ribs, and they can add on chicken wings, dessert and the always entertaining “anything but” category. Backyard cookers are also invited for their own categories, open to anyone with a charcoal or wood grill, and they’ll be competing for ribs, poultry and/or beef. Entry fees are $350 for professional teams or $100 for amateurs. Pro or amateur, whole hog or chicken wing, it promises to be a good time and $10,000 total will be awarded in prize money!
