HANNIBAL â The Hannibal Bar-B-Q Festival is set to return to Heartland Field at 4015 Market Street this weekend, with a variety of local barbecue offerings, colorful Jeeps on hand and live music ready for all ages to have a good time.
Mayor James Hark said every hotel is almost at capacity in town, and he said a new addition this year is the Hannibal Trolley Co. shuttling festival participants to and from downtown Hannibal. Event organizer Jason Krigbaum acknowledged it took hard work to get everything together, but he was very excited, and he felt people would be ready to get together again for the eventâs second year. For 2021, Hark said each participant gets to cast the vote for winning teams â many of whom are from Americaâs Hometown.
