Every March, thousands of BBQ lovers descend upon Downtown for the Hammond Smokin’ BBQ Challenge.
Bringing together beer aficionados and fun lovers alike, everyone comes for a good time.
However, one of the most important aspects of the Competition is more significant than beer, bbq, and entertainment.
This year’s event will be March 25th and 26th along the tracks in downtown Hammond.
Local charities will benefit from this contest, one of the largest events in Hammond.
The Hammond Smokin’ BBQ Challenge began in 2003 as a competition that would help fundraise for local organizations, specifically TARC, which serves those with disabilities. More than $50,000 has been raised in the past few years. Hammond BBQ, Inc. is the non-profit association governing the event.
Competitions include the professional main event, the local Backyard Challenge and a children’s division.
