Washington DC BBQ Battle

What do you think of when you hear "summer"? Swimming at the neighborhood pool? Playing outside until late? Dad grilling at the barbecue? This Saturday and Sunday (June 23rd & 24th), Safeway will be sponsoring a Washington DC BBQ battle like no other. The 20th Annual Safeway Barbecue Battle takes place on historic Pennsylvania Ave between 9th St and 14th St from 11am to 10pm on Saturday and 11am to 7:30pm on Sunday.

Teams, restaurants and individual chefs from all over the country will be competing for the title of National Pork Barbecue Champion as well as more than $40,000 in cash and prizes. Additionally, 30 bands will be performing on three different stages throughout the weekend. Other food at the Washington DC BBQ Battle will be provided, with Safeway giving away free samples from 12pm to 6pm each day. Three of the stars of TLC's "BBQ Pitmasters" will be on hand, competing and giving free grilling tips.

Tickets are just $12 for adults, $5 for kids ages 6-12 and free for kids under 6 if you purchase them in advance online or at one of the official retail locations. If you wait until the day of the event, you can purchase tickets at the gate for $15 for adults and $5 for kids. Your ticket includes free samples while supplies last. All proceeds benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington. Listen to music, have some fun and enjoy some lip-smacking goodness that is barbecue at the Washington DC BBQ Battle this weekend. It's lots of fun for the entire family.
