About

A two-day barbecue festival in downtown Washington presented by Washington Noon Rotary on October 16-17, 2026 — Friday from 4:00 PM until late, Saturday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM — with 30+ competitive pig cookers and free admission. The Rotary vendor page carries a live online application on a first-come, first-served basis, with mail-in as an alternative. Spaces are 10x10 or 10x20 depending on fee; vendors supply their own tents, tables and chairs, and all canopies must be weighted because stakes are not allowed. One caveat for a craft vendor: food and drink vendor spots are filled for 2026 and the page does not say whether non-food or craft space remains, so confirm availability first. Vendor contact: Pam Anderson, 252-944-6136, pamsue.anderson@gmail.com.
