Charleston SC - National Barbecue Championship and Bluegrass Festival

Those folks over in South Carolina are at it again. Barbecue and Bluegrass will mix it up next weekend for a good time. Professional barbecue teams, musicians and lucky bystanders will assemble at the Annual Southern National BBQ Championship & Bluegrass Festival at Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens in Mount Pleasant on August 31st. Chompin', stompin' and generally having a good time aside, this is a serious competition that attracts barbecue experts from all over the country. Cooking teams compete for prizes in Professional, Amateur and Tailgating categories, while festival attendees enjoy free samples of barbecue (while they last) and can purchase full plates from on-site vendors.
