It’s that time of year again, time for hordes of hungry hog lovers to descend on little Lexington and devour thousands of pounds of barbecue. Yes, the Barbecue Festival takes over the streets of downtown Uptown Lexington on Saturday for the 27th time. The annual event often draws more than 100,000 people to Lexington, a town of just 20,000. The Festival culminates a month full of events, including the Tour de Pig bicycle race and the Hawg Shoot air rifle competition. For a complete schedule of Saturday’s happenings visit the entertainment section of the Festival website.
This year the Festival was once again named one of the southeast’s Top 20 Events for October, a distinction that would be more impressive if there were more than 19 events taking place in the region this month. Just kidding, The Barbecue Festival is a terrific event and worthy of its Top 20 status. I hope to see you somewhere along Main Street on Saturday. I’ll be the guy wearing the grease-stained BBQ Jew t-shirt…
