United Cerebral Palsy's 12th Annual BBQ Championship & Hog Wild Festival is set for Friday, March 8 and Saturday, March 9 at the Greater Gulf State Fairgrounds. More than 120 cooking teams are expected to compete for a chance to take home cash, prizes, and the honor of being named the top BBQ team of the contest!

On Saturday, between 11am to 2pm, festival-goers can taste free barbecue samples from up to 50 backyard teams. Cast a vote for your favorite and help United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) crown the 2013 People's Choice Champion. There will be plenty of activities for kids, and everyone can enjoy live music on the BW Music Stage.

This year we are also featuring our 1st Annual UCP Bike Show and the 1st Annual Hog Wild Festival Car Show. Visit our Rules and Applications page for more information and to download a registration form for these events.
