Due to the threat of severe weather and consideration for the safety of our visitors, vendors, contestants and volunteers, the Scottsboro BBQ Festival committee has decided to postpone this year’s festival to Saturday, November 7th.
All the activities and times remain the same. Please make plans to join us on the Downtown Square in Scottsboro, Alabama on Saturday, November 7th!
Thank you for your continued support of the Scottsboro BBQ Festival.

Big shout out to one of the best organizers on the KCBS BBQ Competition trail! Chris Finkbone, one of the organizers for the Honeybee BBQ Competition in LaFayette GA, used the city van to not only drive us to the restaurant of our choice, but also took us to a local ice cream shop after. Thanks Chris for your hospitality!!
