BBQ on the Bow – BBQ Festival and KCBS Competition
Canada's oldest BBQ competition turns 35 with a free day of smoke, food trucks, live music, and enough brisket to feed the whole group chat. It is the kind of festival where everyone can wander at their own pace and still end up at the same table. Bring chairs, bring friends, and let the smell do the planning.
