In 2025, Indiana will host the 5th Annual Hoosier BBQ Classic, which will feature food trucks, live music, a beer garden, and of course, barbecue!
Despite the current chilly weather in Indiana, the battle for the 2025 Hoosier BBQ Classic is already intensifying. The Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS), the biggest competitive barbecue organization in the world, has approved this event as the venue for the state’s biggest barbecue competition. This isn’t your typical backyard barbecue, to put it briefly. Experienced pitmasters will compete for a prize pool of $8,500 in this event. The whole family will also have a great time.
Date Set for 2025 Hoosier BBQ Classic
On June 6 and 7, 2025, the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Franklin, Indiana, will host the 5th Annual Hoosier BBQ Classic. This year’s event will be held in collaboration with Folds of Honor, a foundation that assists in providing education support to the families of soldiers who have died or become incapacitated. The charity will be able to continue offering scholarships to the families of those who sacrificed everything for their nation thanks to the money raised during the event.
What to Expect at the 2025 Hoosier BBQ Classic
The event will include a food truck festival, a family fun area, a beer garden, and live music in addition to the KCBS-approved barbecue competition. On Saturday, June 8th, a carefully selected selection of food trucks will open for business at 12 p.m. and serve meals until 6 p.m. Tyler Poe and The Volunteer Railroad will perform live when they take the stage at 3 p.m. that Saturday. Just remember to pack a few lawn chairs for the performance. Visit the Hoosier BBQ Classic website to find out more and how to participate.
