13th Annual Boro BBQ Festival
April 26 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
The Murfreesboro Breakfast Rotary Club proudly presents its 13th annual Boro BBQ Festival, returning to Hop Springs Park on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This beloved community celebration brings together the smoky aromas, sizzling grills, and Southern rock music that define spring in Tennessee. Proudly sponsored by MTE (Boss Hog Sponsor), Swanson Companies, and Dick & Martha Curl, this free event welcomes everyone to enjoy the festivities and food beginning at 10 a.m.
Attendees can experience the excitement of the Dr. George Smith KCBS BBQ Brawl, where professional and backyard competitors from across the southeast compete for a $6,200 purse. For just $15, festival-goers can participate in the coveted People’s Choice Competition, sampling generous portions of pulled pork and casting their votes. The day will be filled with live performances from the Jeff Woods Band and The Midnight Riders – Tribute to The Allman Brothers Band, complemented by food trucks, craft vendors, and family activities including barnyard animals. All proceeds support Rutherford County non-profits, making this free community event both entertaining and meaningful.
