COLUMBIA, Mo. - s4story -- Buds, blues & bbq 2025 is just 4 weeks away — and we've made some exciting changes for year two!

This year, we're downsizing the event to create a more intimate atmosphere and to keep better control over the experience — so everyone can enjoy the music, food, and fun!!

It's free and open to the public, with all your favorites:
Live music
Tons of great barbecue
Local vendors
As if this smokin' hot celebration couldn't get any better, we've got the best bbq in mid-missouri comin' your way. Indulge your taste buds in a smorgasbord of meats, sides and sauces. And we'll have the region's best pitmasters competing in kcbs-sanctioned contests for your entertainment and inspiration.
Think you've got what it takes to compete?
Barbecue contest registration is now open!
We welcome all skill levels — backyard grillers to seasoned pitmasters. The competition is heating up, and we'd love to have you on board!

Vendors and volunteers — we need you too! come be a part of this community-focused weekend.
