The Annual BBQ & Blues Cook-off started in 2009 as the South Baldwin Chamber Foundation's biggest fundraiser. It is an outdoor food and music event held in Downtown Foley’s Heritage Park on the second Saturday of March. An Alabama Barbecue Association Trail and Kansas City Barbeque Society sanctioned event, the barbecue cook-off attracts both corporate and individual teams competing for bragging rights in several award categories. Festival goers enjoy great food, popular blues bands, children’s activities, and arts and crafts vendors. All proceeds support the South Baldwin Chamber Foundation. Thanks to the generosity of event sponsors and volunteers, the impact on our community and schools increases each year.
