The sun is out, the weather is warming up, and this weekend our barbecue masters will be taking up their tongs right here in Forbes.
Forbes is host to the National BBQ Championships on Saturday 18 October and Sunday 19 October and they'll be cooking up a storm at Grinsted Oval.
The community is urged to come along for two big days of grilling, smoking, live demonstrations, music, market stalls, and kids’ entertainment - all in celebration of BBQ culture.
Organisers are delighted to welcome Chef Patrick De Leon to Forbes for the occasion.
"His incredible talent and dynamic live-fire skills will add something truly special to the event, celebrating the flavours and passion that make barbeque such a beloved tradition both here and around the world,"
