The Eighth Annual Big Apple Barbecue Block Party will be held in Madison Square Park June 12-13, 2010, from 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM. The weekend-long event takes place every June and brings together the country’s top pitmasters who cook up their award-winning food for over a hundred thousand barbecue enthusiasts. Set against the beautiful backdrop of Madison Square Park, the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party attracts people from near and far.

Admission to the event is free. Come take in the sights, sounds and smells, from great live music to engaging seminars and cooking demonstrations – without ever dropping a dollar. Or enjoy the country’s best barbecue as well which is available for only $8 per plate.

Last year's pitmasters came from as far away as Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri and Mississippi, though there were also quite a few stand out local pitmasters from good ol' New York City. Each pitmaster serves up their own regional style of barbecue and lines can get long some come early.

If you are a barbecue devotee, you might be interested in the Fast Pass which is on sale now. The fast pass is $125 and benefits include a $100 redeemable value good for food, beverages, and merchandise as well as exclusive access to express lines throughout the weekend.
