Lake Oconee BBQ & Blues Festival Year Two!

This is our second year organizing this event. We had a tremendous outpouring of support the first year and are looking to make this year even bigger! If there is something that you need or would like just let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate your requests. Thank you for your support. We are looking forward to seeing you in September to help a worthy cause.

We are a Kansas City BBQ Society Sanctioned BBQ contest.

We have been declared by Governor Sonny Perdue to be a Georgia State Championship Contest. (Read the Proclamation)
