Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman will announce the highly anticipated return of the National BBQ Festival and its new home in Nassau County, Long Island. Located in Eisenhower Park from June 13-15, 2025, the festival will feature two full days of BBQ competition with a $100,000 purse—one of the largest prizes in the country and the biggest in the Northeast—drawing top pitmasters from across the globe.
Beyond the competition, festival-goers can expect three unforgettable days filled with incredible BBQ, local brews, live music, Nassau County food trucks and local vendors, a wine and beer garden, culinary demos, kids’ zones, a BBQ marketplace, celebrity MCs, and much more. Tickets for the National BBQ Festival are now on sale at https://nationalbbqfest.com.
The County Executive will be joined by community members, local Nassau County BBQ restaurant owners, and representatives from the National BBQ Festival and the county’s official Tourism & Promotions agency, RRDA.
