Cancellation Notice:

To our BBQ Family, Competitors, and Fans,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of the 2026 Hoosier BBQ Classic.

We know how much this event means to the Indiana BBQ community and the teams who travel from across the region to compete. For several months, our primary goal has been to find a new organizer or organization to take the reins and continue the tradition of this event. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we have not been successful in securing a successor as of today.
