The Hebrew Order of David announces the return of the 2023 Atlanta Kosher BBQ Festival to Brook Run Park (4770 North Peachtree Road) in Dunwoody, Georgia on Sunday, October 22, 2023, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be something for everyone, rain or shine.
Our Festival is centered around a Kosher BBQ Competition where approximately 25 teams compete in KOSHER Brisket, Beef Ribs, Chicken, and Chili categories. We have a large Vendor Village, Children’s activities, Music, Silent Auction, and of course BBQ. Admission is free. BBQ Taste Tickets are $1.25 each and can be bought in advance online or onsite.
Approximately 4000 BBQ lovers and community supporters attended last year’s Festival. The Atlanta Kosher BBQ Festival is supervised by the Atlanta Kashruth Commission. Because we are fully compliant with their Kosher food handling requirements, all spectrums of the Jewish community can participate, plus, because it is BBQ, the entire Atlanta community joins us as well. This ultimately makes us the most diversly attended food event in Georgia.
Most importantly, you do not have to be Jewish to field a competition team or enjoy our BBQ. We are looking forward to welcoming 21 competition teams. Thanks to the team sponsors: Atlanta Jewish Times, Israel in Atlanta, Cobb County Police Department K9 Unit, AJC’s Atlanta Black/Jewish Coalition, Plumbing Express, Hebrew Order of David International Lodge Bezalel, Kesher Torah Atlanta, CMCH Elementary & Middle School, Congregation Or VeShalom, Jacqueline Morris, Ahavath Achim Synagogue Men’s club, Beth Shalom – Atlanta, Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta – MJCCA, Temple Beth Tikvah, Dressler’s Jewish Funeral Care, Congregation Etz Chaim, Dekalb County Fire Rescue Department, Dekalb County District Attorney’s Office, Palm Beach Synagogue, Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, and Mitzvah Smoke House sponsored by Jewish Family & Career Services.
We are accepting donations for our Silent Auction. We are looking for sporting events tickets, concert tickets, restaurant gift cards, a timeshare week or weekend, or maybe a trip to Israel. If you would like to showcase your business to 4,000 attendees, be a sponsor, a vendor, or donate to the silent auction. For more details, reach out to PitBoss.AKBF@gmail.com.
