Super small, got around the entire thing pretty quickly(including the time lining up — and yes, we came pretty early). Some of the booths were not at all good. It didn’t make any sense that they’d be selling these at restaurants. Lol Some were mediocre, I guess the winners of the previous years win every year for a reason. The location was this empty rocky and super dusty patch of land next to several playing fields — so wear shoes when you go, not open-toed sandals, or heels! During the BBQ Cookoff event, the neighboring fields were holding several soccer tournaments, so it made the place super busy. Parking wasn’t too bad though(i guess because we came early), the event wasn’t as crowded as I expected(we left early too). Price is alright, you purchase a packet of coupons and each booth costs 1 or 2 coupons for a sample of your selected choice. Some booths were more generous than others. After you’re done eating. make sure you take note of which you liked best so you can give your winning vote to them! I wasn’t keeping track of which was which so I just voted for the ones i came back for seconds with. Didn’t stay long enough to find out who won though, and even when i checked back online to see the winners. i already forgot who i voted for. Lol I agree with the below review. i hope this can be a much bigger event with more variety. I liked the live bands, they weren’t my type of music, but i still enjoyed having music played during the event. i did dance to some country songs though! ;D It was an experience I guess. They were not many seating available, nor shade. Maybe if the event become much bigger they would put out more seating and tent areas. Hopefully, someday. Overrall. I’d come back, if i had nothing else to do that day.

Small venue but nice. Forty some booths. Good place to try out bbq. Hopefully, in time it’ll become a bigger event.
