About this event
Nothing complements great Eastern North Carolina BBQ better than North Carolina craft beer! Local cooks will compete to be BBQ cook-off champion – try them all and vote for your favorites while sampling beverages from NC craft brewers and distillers. Your ticket includes admission to Sylvan Heights Bird Park, plus games, music, and more!

Vote for the 2025 BBQ Champion!
The People’s Choice voting will double as a fundraiser for one of Sylvan Heights Bird Park’s latest projects! Votes will be cast with dollar bills, and the BBQ cook with the most dollars in their voting box at the end of the night will win the prize. You will need at least one dollar bill to cast your vote for your favorite BBQ, but larger denominations make your vote go further, and raise more funds for Sylvan Heights!
