Chillin' and Grillin' In The Glades
Chillin’ and Grillin’ In The Glades was first started in 2013 as an amateur BBQ contest. With the help of the Town of Wise, The Wise Business Association, The Wise County Tourism Office, and Powell Valley Bank this event has since evolved into a three day BBQ & Music Festival featuring a professional Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS) sanctioned contest to crown the Virginia State BBQ Champion AND a Steak Cookoff Association sanctioned Steak Contest.
Chillin’ and Grillin’ In The Glades has something for everyone to enjoy. There are activities that are focused on children in the Kid’s Corner like face painting, carnival games, and fire truck rides. There is a Cornhole Tournament for people to compete in for prizes. We have a food court stocked with regular festival fair and, of course, plenty of barbecue!
