Bluegrass fans who love barbecue can partake during the Wide Open Bluegrass festival in downtown Raleigh.
The N.C. Pork Council’s whole hog barbecue championship will be Friday and Saturday. The 25 to 30 teams, who qualified by winning or placing in previous contests, will be showcasing their hog-cooking expertise. More than $6,000 in prize money is up for grabs.
The public can visit the parking lots at the corner of Fayetteville and Lenoir streets to see the barbecue competitors’ set-ups. Teams will start cooking their hogs Friday night and have their barbecue judged Saturday morning. Beyond the barbecue judging, their teams’ set-ups are judged at 6 p.m. Friday night for showmanship, or how well they are decorated.
