This weekend is the annual Bar-B-Q Block Party and downtown Owensboro and WBKR is setting up a Be on the Radio Booth. Stop by and you could win Luke Combs tickets. Here's what you need to do!
Last May, folks in Owensboro and the tri-state and, well, ANYONE who makes the trek to our fair city for some scrumptious barbecue didn t know what to do with themselves when the 2020 International Barbecue Festival was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Well, in 2021, the festival in its original, traditional form will not be happening. Instead, we ll be celebrating with the Bar-B-Q Block Party.
On Monday, March 1st, the organizers of the International Barbecue Festival announced the one-day event, which will happen Saturday, May 8th, 2021.
In terms of scale, the Block Party won t be as big as the traditional festival, but we WILL be able to get our beloved barbecue on in early May. And I gotta tell ya, I missed that, big time.
