September 7th-8th at Perimeter MallAddress: 4400 Ashford Dunwoody Road, Dunwoody, Georgia 30346 The Rotary Club of Dunwoody invites you to join the inaugural BBQ and Community Festival which will take place on September 7th and 8th at Perimeter Mall! The Dunwoody BBQ and Community Festival is a signature event for the city. Come out and enjoy walking through the barbecue area while tasting delicious food, enjoying the celebration and experiencing first hand all the excitement that comes from Dunwoody! The majority of the funds raised at this event will go towards our efforts in the local community that support Education and First Responders. This event is FREE to the public and accessible via MARTA, vehicle, and sidewalks. Ample parking is available in the Mall’s parking lot. Visitors to the BBQ will walk into a world of smokin’ competition as 60 professional and local teams compete for the prize of Best Barbecue in Dunwoody. $15,000 of prize money is available for the winners to share. Expect pork, ribs, chicken, and wings in large quantities and a variety of tastes and flavors. These teams come from all over the United States and bring with them culinary secrets from each region. Ask nicely and they may give you the recipe. Buy tasting tickets to sample and a voting ticket will be provided. The event will begin with a Kids-Q on Friday night. Children from 6-14 will be given a grill and meat to try their skills at barbecuing. Winners will be selected and prizes awarded the next day. Saturday is the day that the teams compete and compete they do! There will be live music, a beer garden and televisions in conspicuous places to keep an eye on your favorite college team. (The Dawgs and the Jackets have away games that day.) Your vote counts. You can eat as much as you want for as long as your sampling tickets last. If you run out, buy more. It’s that simple.
