Join us on October 25th in historic Uptown Lexington, NC, to celebrate the 41st annual Lexington Barbecue Festival presented by Truist & @EGGER!

The famous street festival takes place every year to celebrate Lexington, NC's world-renowned barbecue heritage.

In addition to the world's best barbecue, we will serve up lots of family fun, including multiple entertainment stages, unique attractions, art/craft exhibitors, fun-food, and more!
Please note that Lexington-style barbecue is the star of the show, and we only serve and celebrate Lexington-style at the festival. There is no affiliated cook-off with this event.
The best part? Admission to the festival is free!
Special thanks to our amazing sponsors and the official festival barbecue restaurants: Barbecue Center, Speedy's Barbecue, Stamey's Barbecue of Tyro!
