Gwinnett Daily Post
Sip and Swine’s mission is two-fold: to showcase and promote the appreciation of competition BBQ in a fun-filled festival environment and to give back to our community by donating all of the proceeds to support homeless children and their mothers at Home of Hope at Gwinnett Children’s Shelter.
Live Music for Days
Since admission is FREE to Sip & Swine, there’s no charge for our concerts all day Friday and Saturday! We’ve got an incredible line-up of performers for you to enjoy. Stay connected with us to see who will play on Saturday. See you there!
Whether you're a Pro or a Backyard Team, the Sip & Swine BBQ Festival offers up solid competition for either category. We also have great monetary prizes for winners in a large collection of categories, such as chicken, pork, ribs, brisket & more.
You be the judge! On Saturday from 11:30-1:30pm, we’ll hold the People’s Choice competition. The People’s Choice competition is judged by YOU (festival goers who purchase a People’s Choice Award Taster Kit).
Back again in 2025: The Kid's Q Competition is open for all aspiring chefs ages 6 to 15. Spots are limited, so be sure to sign up today!
