SUMMARY:The Griller's Cup (SCBA)
DESCRIPTION:Life's a Beach\n\n\n\nEach year\, Lakewood Camping Resort in Myrtle Beach\, S.C. hosts The Griller’s Cup\, an annual barbecue competition and festival. \n\n\n\nThe South Carolina Barbecue Association (SCBA) sanctions the event. As such\, they provide judges and guidelines for the competition.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat's Happening at The Griller's Cup\n\n\n\nThe two-day event includes: \n\n\n\n\nA Friday evening chicken-wing tasting competition\, judged by a panel of local guests\, with tasting opportunities for the public.\n\n\n\nA BBQ (pork butt) cooking competition is judged on Saturday morning. Afterward\, the event opens to the public for tastings.\n\n\n\nAn awards ceremony on Saturday at the Band Stage\, where the SCBA announces the winners.\n\n\n\nLive music and entertainment\, a variety of vendors\, and a silent auction tent with donated prizes. Kids activities may include bounce houses and face painting.\n\n\n\nEntry to the event is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nTasting passes are sold on-site and typically cover multiple meat samples. Additional tickets or add-ons may be available for sides and drinks.\n\n\n\nThe general public can visit the Lakewood tent to purchase $5 splash passes.

The Griller’s Cup is one of our favorite ways to bring our community together for fun and philanthropy.

SUMMARY:Jackson Hook and Cook Festival (SCBA)
DESCRIPTION:A Festival Steeped in Tradition\n\n\n\nThe quaint town of Jackson\, known for its tight-knit community and rich traditions\, is once again preparing to host its renowned Hook & Cook Festival.  \n\n\n\nAs the aroma of barbecued meats wafts through the air and the sound of laughter fills the streets\, it's evident that this isn't just any festival; it's a testament to the town's unity and the spirit of celebration. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Look Back at Past Events\n\n\n\nDrawing inspiration from past events\, this year's festival promises to be an even grander affair. In its eighth edition\, the festival saw a footfall of 1\,500 to 2\,000 attendees\, a number that has only grown over the years.  \n\n\n\n\nThe 14th edition\, despite challenges like waterlogged roads that led to the cancellation of the fishing tournament\, still managed to draw between 1\,000 to 3\,000 attendees. Such resilience and dedication are what make the Hook & Cook Festival a standout event in Jackson's calendar. \n\n\n\n\nTwo Days of Fun Activities\n\n\n\nSet against the backdrop of the Jackson Pavilion on Main Street\, the festival is a two-day extravaganza. While Friday evenings are reserved for arts\, crafts\, and food vendors\, the highlight is undoubtedly the dessert competition\, where participants vie for the coveted $100 first prize. And as the sun sets\, live music takes center stage\, ensuring that the night is filled with music\, dance\, and merriment. \n\n\n\nSaturday is a day of diverse activities. From car and boat shows to antique displays\, there's something for everyone.  \n\n\n\n\nThe Heart of the Festival: Barbecue and Fishing\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe fishing tournament\, a staple of the festival\, sees enthusiastic participants launching their boats from the Jackson boat landing. With categories ranging from panfish and bass to striper/hybrid and catfish\, the competition is fierce\, culminating in a weigh-in at the Municipal Complex. \n\n\n\n\nBut what's a Hook & Cook Festival without some mouth-watering barbecue?  \n\n\n\nThe South Carolina BBQ Association sanctioned Cook-off is where the magic happens. With cash prizes up for grabs in categories like ribs and butt\, the competition is intense. And for attendees\, it's a gastronomic delight\, with barbecue dinners available for purchase. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGiving Back to the Community\n\n\n\nThe festival also gives back to the community. Past editions have seen donations to institutions like Redcliffe Elementary\, the culinary department at Silver Bluff\, and the NJROTC\, to name a few. \n\n\n\nAs the festival draws to a close\, one can't help but marvel at the sense of community it fosters. As Phyllis Boyd aptly puts it\, "It’s amazing how the small community has grown from this. We have people from all over here\, and it’s just turned into something that people really enjoy; it’s a unified event." \n\n\n\n\nSo\, if you're looking for a weekend of fun\, food\, and festivities\, the Jackson Hook & Cook Festival is the place to be. It's not just an event; it's an experience\, a celebration of community and tradition. And as the sun sets on Jackson\, the memories of the festival linger\, a reminder of the town's indomitable spirit and the promise of many more celebrations to come. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Organizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Location\n\n\n\n\n\nBest Places to Stay (and more)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWeather Forecast\n\n\n\nJACKSON SC
