New Freedom Borough has partnered with Northern Central Railway to welcome Smoke on the Rails BBQ Festival, a Kansas City Barbeque Society State Championship paired with a community festival in the heart of New Freedom. Backyard and Master Series teams will fill Marge Goodfellow Park during the last weekend of July and test their pit master skills to find out who prepares the best chicken, ribs, pork, and brisket. Steak Cookoff Association cooks and teams will also battle for the best-cooked rib-eye and ancillary category of anything with crab meat. While the teams compete, the public will enjoy great food, music, vendors, and activities.
Tickets: $17.99
People’s Choice and Train Combo tickets will be available for sale on the day of the event!
