MARK YOUR CALENDARS

OCTOBER 14TH and 15TH, 2022

 

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 THIS OCTOBER as we cook up a spectacular weekend of events.

 

What is the Jack?

Every year, more than 40,000 visitors descend on Lynchburg for one of the most prestigious competitions in all of BBQ.
