BLOOMIN’ BBQ & BLUEGRASS SPONSORSHIPS AVAILABLE
Sevierville’s Bloomin’ Barbeque & Bluegrass is an International Festival & Events Association Pinnacle Award Winning event! During the 5th Annual Bloomin’ Barbeque & Bluegrass event, 27,000 guests from nearby and far away joined us for our fifth annual event and we only expect the event to continue growing into the future.
Mark your calendars now for the 6th Annual Bloomin’ Barbeque & Bluegrass event May 14 & 15, 2010!
Bloomin’ Barbeque & Bluegrass is a Tennessee State Championship Barbeque Competition (as decreed by Governor Phil Bredesen) that is sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society and expected to draw the top cook teams and 65+ judges from all across the United States. In addition to barbeque, this event also showcases fine artists and crafters demonstrating their skills and selling their wares. Kids can play in our “Kids’ Zone” on both Friday and Saturday and mom and dad can browse arts and crafts throughout the event. Finally, every hometown festival should honor its hometown girl. So we’re once again presenting the “Mountain Soul Vocal Competition” in which vocalists must perform their best rendition of a Dolly Parton song (there are over 3,000)!
