Roc City Rib Fest is an annual festive event that gives you a chance to

...come out and enjoy all that Rochester has to offer in BBQ. Taste the BBQ from numerous Rochester area BBQ vendors in one location . Come watch the professional BBQers compete in a NY State championship BBQ contest, they just might tell you a secret or two!

Or throw your hat in the ring and compete along side them, you never know you could be crowned a NY state champion! If the pro contest sounds like a little too much then get your feet wet and compete in the Roc City Rib Cook-off. Just one category and inexpensive to enter, gain valuable competition experience so next year you can compete with the big boys!"¹

2009-04-04 15:11:44 This is Great to finally have a "real" BBQ competition in the Rochester area. The KCBS sanctioning, with the strict rules and double blind judging, make a fair playing field for local cooks to compete on a national level.

I'm in!!! And I'm looking forward to putting my BBQ up against your BBQ. Let's see what ya got! lol —oompappy

2009-05-26 07:35:12 Went Sunday afternoon hoping to sample some ribs and it seemed like many of the vendors had already left and rib teasers were $5-6. Glad to see the competition and hope it returns next year but it needs to be better organized. —RobertKimmel

We drove 8 hours to be there and were not in the least bit disappointed (well, except for our scores, but that one is on us;-) ) - Team ZBQ, Rhode Island"
