Florida Triple Crown of BBQ
Since Pigfest came to Lakeland in 1997, we’ve been proud to partake in the Southeastern tradition of the BBQ cookoff and give chefs a place to show off their skills.
Now, we’re proud to announce the 2nd annual Triple Crown of BBQ which gives BBQ competition teams a chance to compete across three major competitions and take home the Triple Crown! Make sure to come out to all three competitions to try some of the best BBQ and see who might take home the crown!
