People's Choice Barbecue Cook-Off

Join us for a historic community celebration at the People’s Choice Barbecue Cookoff!

The SEOPW CRA In partnership with the Office of Miami City Commission Chairwoman Christine King, proudly presents a one-of-a-kind event where the community will help decide who serves the best barbecue in Overtown.
