DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Hebrew Order of David will host the 2023 Atlanta Kosher BBQ Festival from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 22 at Brook Run Park.
The festival highlight will be a kosher barbecue competition in which some 25 teams participate in kosher brisket, beef ribs, chicken and chili categories. The event will also feature a vendor village, a silent auction, live music and children’s activities.
The food festival is supervised by the Atlanta Kashruth Commission to ensure kosher food handling requirements. Staff said all spectrums of the Jewish community can participate, but the event is open to all.
Proceeds from the gathering will benefit a number of groups and charities. Previous recipients include the Cobb County Sheriff’s Department, the Atlanta Israel Coalition, Backpack Buddies, the Jewish Education Loan Fund and the Cobb County Police K9 Unit.
Admission to the festival is free, and it will take place rain or shine. Individual barbecue taste tickets cost $1.25 and can be purchased onsite or in 20- or 40-ticket bundles online.
Those interested in registering for the competition, donating to the silent auction or purchasing tickets can visit theatlantakosherbbq.com.
