Holy Smokes
BBQ Competition to Bring Hope
May 16, 2026
The Holy Smokes BBQ Competition, in downtown Muskegon, offers a lively evening where the community gathers to taste and vote for a variety of barbecue entries from local restaurants. Sip on craft brews, play yard games, and enjoy live entertainment all for an amazing cause!
This year’s competing teams are:
- The Dry Rub Society
- A&R Grills and and Smokers
- Blazzin’ Glory BBQ
- Smoke ‘N Ash’s
- Second Hand Smoke
- Dr. Rolf’s Barbecue
All proceeds from this event go towards our St. Gianna’s No Cost Baby Boutique in Muskegon. Last year alone, we served over 2,000 children in Muskegon. This work is not possible without the support of our community. Thank you!
