The 4th Annual Squealin' on the Square combines this summer's heat with the sweet taste of BBQ!

Squealin' on the Square also kicks off the Sounds at Six series for 2022! Downtown Hopkinsville will be serenaded with the sweet tunes of The Band Entice.

The Band Entice will be taking the Founders Square stage from 6-10 pm!

Come prepared to be "swined and dined" when pork ribs, pork chops and chicken take center stage for this event, sponsored by Huhtamaki.

Squealin' on the Square will feature up to 10 teams battling for the coveted trophy and $250 cash prize!

The five-person teams (one head chef and up to four assistants) will cook BBq throughout the day to get ready for judges to sample portions from each team before determining the winner in each of the three categories: chicken, ribs and chops.

The public gets in on the eats from 6-9 pm when teams with a valid permit have the opportunity to sell their prepared items.

Spots are available for teams to enter the BBQ competition. Visit www.hoptownrec.com to register or call 270-887-4290 for more information.
