The Downtown Mesa BBQ Classic, presented by Ting Internet, will take place Nov. 3-4.
The Kansas City Barbeque Society-sanctioned competition will bring in pitmasters from across the country, according to a release from the Downtown Mesa Association.
The competition includes a one-meat challenge and a four-meat master’s series competition.
More than 100 certified KCBS members from across the U.S. have applied to be judges, and teams will compete for a $10,000 purse, the release stated.
“This event is free for spectators, and we encourage the community to come out and enjoy great barbecue while the teams battle it out for the grand prize,” Nancy Hormann, president of the Downtown Mesa Association, said.
The event will be 5-9 p.m. Nov. 3 and from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Nov. 4 at 100 N. Center St. in Mesa.
A tasting ticket is $20, according to the release.
