The smell of sweet smoke and spice will fill the air as the sun rises over downtown Stockton on Independence Day 2009. Soon talented chefs will be preparing their finest edible creations for public sampling. As the gates open the audience will be treated by watching the BBQ cooks in their “crunch time” as they rush their entries to the judges’ tables. Judging of the BBQ entries will also be “open” and viewable to the public. The sounds from the stage and the many flavors that surround will keep the audience’s attention and appetite satiated for hours.

Tasting continues all day Saturday with a wide variety of food samples and sweet treats There is live music to enjoy all day, wine tasting, a beer garden, children’s activities and of course the best BBQ creations ever tasted in the West. Thousands will experience the greatest of All - American celebrations, the Forth of July weekend, in the Central Valley. This is the event that the audience will remember, and look forward to in upcoming years.
