BBQ Competitions: First Ever Pig Out

Live in Central New York? Got plans this weekend? No? Well, I've got some suggestions for you. Check out the "first ever" Pig Out in Troy, New York.

The Troy Pig Out in Riverfront Park, Downtown Troy, NY, will welcome professional BBQ teams from across the United States for this two day competition which includes a People’s Choice Beef Rib Eye competition on Saturday, and the main event on Sunday.

The Troy Pig Out is officially sanctioned by the Kansas City BBQ Society and the office of the Governor as the New York State BBQ Championship, qualifying the winner for the national championships at the American Royal and the Jack.

Great food and great music are the main attractions for guests to the festival, with live music filling Riverfront Park on both Saturday and Sunday, and a special fireworks show on Saturday night over the Hudson River.

This festival is FREE to attend!!
