WhistleStop Weekend
Is it possible to imagine a better summer night in Alabama than one spent at WhistleStop - a weekend filled with BBQ competitions and great music?
At WhistleStop Weekend, grill masters from across the region gather to compete in both amateur and professional divisions. Visitors can enjoy the BBQ, wings, and sides, vote on the People’s Choice Awards, participate in the Alabama Corn Hole Championship, and listen to live headliners each night.
While the festival is kid-friendly, the Kid’s Zone, in particular, has tons of activities for little ones to enjoy, and children aged 8 to 14 can participate in their own Kid’s Q cooking competition!
