Barbecue on the River in Paducah

Barbecue on the River in Paducah

The three-day festival, celebrating the art of smoking and cooking meat over a live fire, will return to Paducah after a two-year hiatus. In honor of returning to the river, this year’s theme is Smoke on the Water. The goal of this year’s festival is the same – to benefit local charities. Teams from western Kentucky and beyond will be serving their best BBQ to win the coveted title of Grant Champion. Winners will also be announced in subcategories such as chicken, ribs and whole hog. Barbecue vendors, drink vendors, live music, children’s activities and more will be set up all weekend. A portion of all proceeds will benefit local charities.
