BBQ COOK-OFF

The smoke is coming to the Rodeo.

This year, we’re turning up the heat with our official BBQ Cook-Off — where pitmasters, backyard legends, and grill kings go head-to-head for cash prizes, trophies, and ultimate bragging rights. Set against the energy of live music, rodeo action, and a high-powered festival crowd, this competition blends Southern tradition with bold culture. From slow-smoked ribs to perfectly sliced brisket, teams will battle it out while fans experience the flavor, the fire, and the atmosphere that only Lowcountry Rodeo can deliver. Think you’ve got championship smoke? Step into the arena.
