History[edit]
The Lexington Barbecue Festival was first held in 1984. The idea for the festival was conceived by Joe Sink, a former publisher of The Dispatch, and three local businessmen: Kay Saintsing, Speedy Lohr, and Wayne Monk. The festival was initially intended to draw attention to Lexington's barbecue restaurants, which are a significant part of the city's culture and economy.
Event[edit]
The Lexington Barbecue Festival takes place on the last Saturday in October. The festival features a variety of events, including a barbecue cook-off, live music, arts and crafts exhibits, and a car show. The main attraction, however, is the barbecue itself. Numerous local restaurants and vendors participate in the festival, serving up thousands of pounds of Lexington-style barbecue to attendees.
