Due to COVID-19, the Music Festival has been cancelled and the BBQ competition will be closed to the public.
The TN River BBQ Battle & Music Fest will be held on September 25-26, 2020, at Green Acres RV Resort in Savannah, TN!!! We are taking precautions to keep all contact at a minimum and are putting in place special precautions for our judges as well. We don't plan to cancel the competition unless mandated to do so.
Over $10,000 is up for grabs in a battle for Grand Champion! The TN River BBQ Battle is also a Jack Daniels' World Championship and American Royal Invitational Qualifier as well! Thanks to "Smokin' with Smithfield", we have raised our payouts on our Overall Winners as well as we will pay First through Tenth Place in each category!
