Presented by Huhtamaki, the 7th Annual Squealin' on the Square combines this summer's heat with the sweet taste of BBQ!
Downtown Hopkinsville will be live with music on the Founders Square stage from 6-9 pm with Rock and Roll Pianos. This Dueling Pianos show is brought by the nationally known Felix and the Fingers keyboarders out of Hendersonville, TN
Squealin' on the Square will feature up to 10 teams battling for the coveted trophy and $250 cash prize.
The five-person teams (one head chef and up to four assistants) will cook BBQ throughout the day to get ready for judges to sample portions from each team before determining the winner in each of the three categories: chicken, ribs and chops.
The public gets in on the eats from 6-9 pm when teams with a valid permit have the opportunity to sell their prepared items. Additional food trucks and alcohol vendors will be on-site, including G’s BBQ, Kona Ice, Botique Cotton Candy, Chef Jamie’s Food Truck, Forsq, and Casey Jones Distillery.
Thank you to our sponsors Huhtamaki and Welcome Home Real Estate.
