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 weekend long BBQ & Music Festival featuring a Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS) sanctioned contest to crown the Virginia State BBQ Champion AND a Steak Cookoff Association (SCA) 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 fire truck rides and a Fireman's Obstacle Course. There is a Cornhole Tournament for people to compete in for cash prizes. We have craft vendors set up on Main Street and a food court stocked with regular festival fair and, of course, plenty of barbecue! For the more active people, we invite you to come out and compete in our Grillmaster 5K run or our My Run, Walk & Roll Challenge.
