The Vibe Is Real

Seven years of smoke, community, and good times.

Built Around Community

We're here to bring people together, serve great barbecue, and do something good for the community while we're at it.

After the cost of putting on the event is covered, any proceeds are donated to Louisa County Animal Shelter to help support local animals in need. Full plates. Full hearts. A little good done right here at home.

Every bite of barbecue helps support local animals in need.
