Get ready to celebrate family, music and BBQ with the 24th Annual Giant National Capital Barbecue Battle June 25-26.
The Giant Barbecue Battle is one of the largest and most unique food and music festivals in the country with BBQ teams cooking off for their share of cash and prizes and the title of National BBQ Champion. Celebrity chefs like Myron Mixon and Tuffy Stone from the BBQ Pitmasters TV show will compete side by side with Grand Champion teams like Historic BBQ from Lebanon Ohio and Pork Barrel BBQ from Alexandria, VA.
This year’s festival features a wide variety of musical genres including jazz musician Marcus Johnson, EU featuring Sugar Bear, Secret Society, the Muddy Crows and more. Over 30 bands will be performing Rock, Reggae, Jazz, Blues, R&B and GO GO on stage throughout the weekend.
Not to mention, it’s all for a good cause as the Giant BBQ Battle benefits the USO Metropolitan Washington-Baltimore and the Capital Area Food Bank. The event has raised over 1.7 million dollars in past years for these and other District charities.
