General Information

Competition – January 28-29, 2022

There’s nothing better than finger lickin’ BBQ! Come compete in the Firefighters Charity BBQ Contest at Gator Harley   We are accepting cooking teams, vendors, and sponsors.

3 cooking categories to compete in – Chicken, Ribs, & Butts

The Charity BBQ & Chili Competition is a fund raiser hosted by the Firefighters Charity Alliance of Central Florida. This fund raiser helps fund our Florian Fund. This fund provides financial assistance to local firefighters enduring catastrophic crisis such as PTSD and cancer treatments.

We want this event to be fun for our participants as well as everyone who comes out to attend. The popularity of this event has really grown to be a premier food competition event in Central Florida.

We have expanded the event even more this year and have added several fun events as well as community supportive events. We are pleased to announce we are approved as a Florida BBQ Association sanctioned event. We adopted most of the FBA rules for our past events, so our participants will find a similar format again this year.
