BBQ lovers, this is one event you won’t want to miss. The first-ever TMG Fest: Block Party & Demo Day is coming to Knoxville, bringing together live-fire cooking, top pitmasters, and a full day of food and fun.

Hosted by TMG Pits, this inaugural festival is all about celebrating the art of barbecue—from backyard grilling to professional-level techniques. At the heart of the event is an exciting BBQ Smoke Off, where some of TMG’s top pitmasters will go head-to-head, showcasing their skills and signature flavors. And here’s the best part—you get to taste the food and help decide the winner.

Throughout the day, attendees can experience live cooking demonstrations, featuring different styles of fire-based cooking and a variety of TMG pits in action. Whether you’re just getting started or already deep into the BBQ world, you’ll pick up tips, techniques, and inspiration along the way.
The event is designed as a true block party atmosphere, with:

• Food samples and tasting opportunities
• Live entertainment and games
• A chance to meet fellow BBQ enthusiasts
• A close-up look at custom pits and cooking setups

General admission tickets include rib and wing tasting tokens, so you can sample your way through the competition and enjoy a variety of flavors from different pitmasters.

This isn’t just a food event—it’s a celebration of community, craftsmanship, and the culture of live-fire cooking. Whether you come for the competition, the demos, or just to enjoy great food with friends, TMG Fest promises a full day of smoky, flavor-packed fun.
