Fire Up Your Taste Buds for the Bayou BBQ Bash in Morgan City

The 6^th Annual Bayou BBQ Bash – Rain or Shine

While July 4 is a pretty big deal and backyard barbecues are alight all over the country, combining Louisiana’s love of cooking and BBQ equals some fires a couple weeks after July 4 that are pretty spectacular! The 6^th Annual Bayou BBQ Bash is held July 14-15, rain or shine, under the U.S. 90 Bridge in downtown Morgan City.

A Champion Cooking and Music Event

The event is a Barbecue Competitor Alliance competition along with a Corporate Cooking Team throw down as well. Even the music is fierce, with local radio station KQKI kicking off the Country Music Showdown on Friday night.

How could the competition not be intense when there are bragging rights on the line and an exclusive $1,400, 10-karat gold ring, designed by Klutts Jewelers awaiting the Grand Champion.

The kids can also get in on the barbecue competition at the Cannata’s Kids Q Saturday. There will be a demonstration and presentation for all the kids at Cannata’s Boucherie on Saturday.
