Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational Barbecue
It's rare that whiskey-making takes a backseat to much of anything in Lynchburg, Tennessee. THE JACK is one exception. One weekend in October, barbecue competitors from across the country and world converge here to wield their grilling and smoking expertise in the final competition of the year.
Smell the sweet smoke and savor the flavors for yourself and JOIN US NEXT OCTOBER as we cook up a spectacular weekend of events.

Every year, more than 40,000 visitors descend on Lynchburg for one of the most prestigious competitions in all of BBQ.
In Lynchburg, folks say barbecue is an art unto itself. After 30 years of competition, we have the posters to prove it. Check out our letterpress poster gallery from previous years of The Jack.
