Yazoo County Fairgrounds

Yazoo City, Mississippi
Our Mission: To celebrate the tradition of BBQ , give back to our community, and support our regional firefighters with a weekend of comraderie, crafts and of course food.
Bring your lawn chairs or blankets. No Coolers.
Food and drink vendors will be on-site Friday night and Saturday.
BBQ teams are not allowed to feed the public, and they may be busy at times cooking or preparing for judging, so please be considerate of this while attending the festival.
However you spell it – barbecue, barbeque, BBQ, or Bar-B-Que – the tradition we celebrate is one of family, food, fun and fellowship! Add to that our HUGE Prize money, and we’ve got an event that everyone wants to be a part of!
Food, Arts & Crafts, a Live Music Concert, Tons of Fun for Families and Children, and MORE! Don’t miss the 3rd Annual Fire & Feast BBQ Competition & Festival in Yazoo City!
Proceeds to benefit the Gateway Make-A-Promise (MAP) Youth Coalition/Lifesavers Program!
To join the fun, visit our Applications page!
I’m interested in having a booth at your festival, but I’m not sure if my art would be right for a BBQ contest. Will most crafts and art be BBQ related? I’d appreciate any feedback. You can see my art at NatchezBottleCapArt.com. Thank you.
Thanks for your interest, Brandon. Awesome work! No, the arts & crafts will not necessarily be BBQ related. In the menu at the top (Applications), please download the application for the Juried Arts & Crafts asap to be considered. Spaces are limited. Thanks so much!
Terrific work! That is the kind of info that are supposed to be shared around the web. Shame on the seek engines for now not positioning this publish upper! Come on over and discuss with my website . Thank you =)
EXCITED THAT WE WILL BE ATTENDING THIS YEAR!!!!!!!
We are too, Beverly! Thanks for your support! Good luck in the competition!
Where do I get information on entering the contest?
You can get information from this site, or call the Yazoo County CVB at 800-381-0662. Applications (including rules and prize structure) are available on this site at http://www.fireandfeast.org/applications Hope to see you there!
I think y’all need to have a 5k race either that Friday night or Saturday morning of next years event. Mostly all the festivals around the state does that and I can’t ever remember a 5k race being in Yazoo County.
That’s a great idea, Rod! We’d love to get you on our committee to help coordinate this. Give us a call at 800-381-0662 so we can discuss it after this weekend. Thanks so much!
is there a cost to get in?
nevermind just saw the answer
