Boro BBQ Fest

Get ready for one of Murfreesboro’s favorite community traditions as the Boro BBQ Festival returns on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Hop Springs Park. This free, family-friendly event brings together incredible food, live entertainment, and a shared purpose—supporting local nonprofits through the work of the Murfreesboro Breakfast Rotary Club.

At the center of it all is the barbecue. Competition teams from across the region will be firing up their smokers and serving up their best, giving attendees the chance to taste a wide variety of styles and flavors. Whether you’re a casual fan or a serious BBQ enthusiast, there’s something here worth savoring.

Beyond the food, the festival offers a full day of activity for all ages. Enjoy live music throughout the park, explore local vendors, and let the kids burn off energy in designated family-friendly areas. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and built for wandering—grab a plate, find some shade, and settle in for a while.

What makes the Boro BBQ Festival stand out is its purpose. Every dollar raised supports local charitable initiatives, meaning your attendance directly contributes to projects that strengthen the Murfreesboro community. It’s a rare combination of good food and real impact.

Sponsors and Rotarians will be on-site throughout the day, making this not just an event, but a gathering point for the people and organizations invested in the region’s growth. It’s a chance to connect, support, and celebrate together.

Bring your family, invite your friends, and plan to stay awhile. Whether you come for the barbecue, the music, or the mission, the Boro BBQ Festival delivers a day well spent—and a tradition worth continuing.
