Celebrate taste, sound and the arts at Art of Barbeque, Oklahoma’s most popular contests with more than 75 barbeque teams of corporate, professional and backyard BBQ connoisseurs competing for cash and other prizes, including $1,000 for the Grand Championship. The winner of the competition will attend the National Championship Cook-Off in Kansas City. The event is sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society.

Friday night will have live music from Mid Life Crisis Band and live remote feed from Cox radio Star 103.3 FM.  Adults can enjoy wine tasting from local vineyards while children frolic in the fantastic Kid’s Zone that includes many inflatables, games, arts and crafts and much more.   

On Saturday for only $10.00 event patrons can purchase a taster kit to sample all the delicious barbeque from the competitors and vote for your favorite in the People’s Choice competition.   People are encouraged to enjoy all the food and beverages they can handle while having a great time supporting the arts.

The Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa’s mission is to bring the arts to all through inspiring creativity, fostering appreciation, promoting lifelong learning, enhancing the quality of individual lives, and contributing economic vitality to the greater community.
