Grilling on Main: A sizzling BBQ cook off extravaganza returns to Minden

Get ready to fire up those grills and tantalize your taste buds because Grilling on Main, the highly anticipated BBQ cook off sanctioned by the Barbecue Cookers Association (BCA), is back and better than ever. Mark your calendars for June 7 and 8, 2024, as Main Street transforms into a paradise for barbecue enthusiasts, families, and friends alike.

Organized by Minden Main Street, Grilling on Main promises two days of sizzling excitement, delicious food, and unforgettable entertainment for attendees of all ages. From seasoned pit masters to backyard BBQ aficionados, everyone is invited to showcase their grilling prowess and compete for the title of BBQ champion.

But Grilling on Main isn’t just about the competition – it’s a full-fledged festival celebrating the art of barbecue and community spirit. Attendees can expect a fun-filled kids area, thrilling corn hole tournament, diverse vendors market, mouthwatering people’s choice tasting, live entertainment, and a spectacular fireworks display.

And that’s just the beginning. Grilling on Main promises an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, camaraderie, and, of course, delicious barbecue.

“We are thrilled to bring back Grilling on Main for another year of mouthwatering fun,” said Taylor Wren, Main Street Director “We’ve made some exciting changes to the way people’s choice will work this year. Instead of getting a tray full of pork, festival goers will purchase a wristband, then be able to walk around to the different grillers and sample a wide variety of meats.”

In addition to the excitement and camaraderie, Grilling on Main will award over $10,000 in cash prizes to the winners of the BBQ cook off, making it one of the most lucrative competitions in the region.

Whether you’re a BBQ enthusiast, a family looking for a weekend of fun, or a foodie in search of your next culinary adventure, Grilling on Main has something for everyone. Don’t miss out on the ultimate BBQ experience of the year.
