BBQ & Brews Fire Fest

05/31/2020

Our organization does not support the actions of Fifth & Federal's Twitter post.

Due to that, we will not be holding a BBQ Competition this year. Thank you for your 5 years of support.

Lynchburg VA Eats is deeply disappointed by the statements made by 5th and Federal’s Twitter.

As an organization, our only goal is to love and support our community and local businesses. We love you Lynchburg, no matter your race, class, religion, national origin, sexuality, or gender identity. What makes a community great is having people of different backgrounds come together, love one another, and in our humble opinions make lots of different types of wonderful food!
