World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest

Just as the rodeo competitors hone their riding skills and shine their buckles, several hundred hopefuls are polishing their culinary tools and preparing to heat up their own winning run at glory. The World's Championship Bar-B-Que Contest is three days of cooking, competition, eating and dancing. The sweet aroma drifts over the Houston metropolis, drawing crowds like bees to honey, with a record 244,184 guests joining the feast in 2011. Live musical entertainment is provided at The Miller Lite Stage at The Garden with room for dancing.
