BBQ Baleout
A two-day barbecue festival raising funds to help drought-affected farmers.
Overview
Next month is set to kick off in a haze of smoky meats, crafty beers and live tunes, all for a great cause, at the inaugural BBQ Baleout.
Descending on Moore Park's Entertainment Quarter on November 3 and 4, the event sees BlackBear BBQ, BBQ Garage and the Australasian Barbecue Alliance team up to rally funds and support for Aussie farmers doing it tough. Entry is free, but there'll be Buy a Bale charity buckets dotted throughout the venue, for those who fancy donating.
Head along for a taste of country life, as the former show grounds play host to a program of reptile displays, cattle dog performances, whip shows and cow milking demonstrations. Meanwhile, danceable live tunes will come courtesy of acts like Volky, Taya Chani Trio and the Sweet Jelly Rolls, plus there'll be a swag of barbecue vendors — including Parrilla Argenchino, Bovine and Swine and Whole Hogs by Hill Billy — and beers from Six Strings to keep you properly fuelled throughout the day.
But the real showdown happens when Australia's richest BBQ championship, the 2018 Kingsford Invitational BBQ Competition, takes centre stage. Forty of the country's top barbecue teams will attempt to grill, roast and smoke their way to glory, for a share in $40,000 cash and prizes.
