The Real Squeal BBQ & Music Festival

October 4 & 5, 2024


The Real Squeal BBQ & Music Festival began in 2010 after two locals visited a BBQ Competition in a different town unbeknown to each other. When they got back to work they told each other about going to the competition and how they thought we could improve on it. And so The Real Squeal BBQ & Music Festival was born. 

This is a two-day event full of friendly competition and a healthy dose of one-upmanship.
