Victoria Yards & Adjacent Parking Lot, Charlotte, NC
Looking forward to the 6th annual Carolina BBQ Festival at Victoria Yards and the adjacent parking lot in Uptown Charlotte, NC. all in support of our friends at Operation BBQ Relief. In partnership with Charlotte SHOUT!
In 2026 the pitmaster + chef lineup featured 30+ friends from the Carolinas & beyond, coming together to celebrate the rich tradition of whole hog BBQ (and so much more). Your festival tickets include tasting plates from all of our friends – that’s 30+ tastings of BBQ goodness if you hang with us all weekend. Come hungry.
