A smoker showdown is taking over Lake Eva Park on Friday, Feb. 14, and Saturday, Feb. 15.

Ribs on the Ridge is the final contest in the annual Triple Crown of BBQ, where teams compete for bragging rights as our region’s top pit master.

Some odds and burnt ends before the winner is crowned:

  • Entry is free
  • Sample BBQ from top chefs
  • Enjoy live music + family-friendly activities
  • Shop local vendors
