The International Bar-B-Q Festival is an event held in Owensboro, Kentucky, every second weekend in May[1] since 1979.[2] The festival provides an opportunity for sampling many varieties of barbecued meats, including chicken, mutton, and burgoo.[3] Cooking teams compete for the Governor's Cup, awarded to the team judged to have the best barbecued cuisine.[4] Other attractions include square dancing, musical performances, and arts and crafts.[5] The Kentucky Department of Tourism recently (in 2006) projected an expected attendance of 85,000 for the festival.[6]
