We are bringing it home this year. Chicken wings, beef on weck, Friday fish fries, the Bills, the Sabres, Niagara Falls, snow & cold in the winter, the Great Lakes, the Taste of Buffalo, the Allentown Art Festival are just some of the many things that define our area. Located in Clarence, NY, a suburb of Buffalo, Oinktoberfest is the longest continuously running BBQ competition in the state and has grown & prospered to become one of WNY’s premiere events.
Last year a record 60 teams competed in the KCBS Competition on Saturday and 29 in the Sunday contests. They came from across the Northeast, Canada, and as far away as Florida. For a welcome change Friday’s weather was great. Multiple drenching downpours after midnight made things difficult for the teams. Saturday and Sunday was cool & wet but that didn’t slow down the crowd. All were entertained with a great lineup of music, team vendors serving their best BBQ, a great beer selection and overall camaraderie of the participants.
