Squealin’ on the Square
June 1, 2023 - June 9, 2023
The 5th Annual Squealin on the Square BBQ Festival takes over downtown Hopkinsville as this years first event in the Sounds@6 Series. This year’s Squealin on the Square will feature up to ten competitive barbeque teams battling for cash prizes and trophies in each of the categories.
The five-person team (one head chef and up to four assistants) will cook BBQ throughout the day to get ready for judges to sample portions from each team before determining the winners in the three categories: chicken, ribs, and chops. Winning teams will be determined based on presentation, taste, and tenderness of each entry. Winners receive $250.00 and the coveted Squealin’ trophy in each meat division.
The public gets in on the eats from 6:00pm-9:00pm when teams put their BBQ on sale to the public. The barbeque goes fast so guests are recommended to arrive early. There will be live music in downtown and patron will be able to purchase their favorite beer or wine from the cash bar.
Spots are now open for teams to enter the BBQ competition. Please see Application Packet link below! For availability, confirmation, and additional information regarding the event, contact Hopkinsville Parks and Recreation at 27-887-4290 or thudson@h-ky.us
