JACKSON BACKYARD BBQ: SUPPORTING THE BACKSTOPPERS!
OCTOBER 10, 2026 - 11AM - 9PM
Where else can you get an entire day of food, entertainment, and family fun for just $20? Admission to the Jackson Backyard BBQ includes BBQ samples from all 18 competition teams PLUS a full meal—so come hungry, because you won’t leave that way! Enjoy live entertainment throughout the day, raffles and prizes, cold drinks, and plenty of activities for the kids, all in the family-friendly atmosphere of Jackson City Park. For only $20, it’s one of the best entertainment values around and a great way to spend the day with family and friends.
Even better, your $20 ticket helps support an incredible mission. The Jackson Backyard BBQ is a 100% volunteer-run event benefiting The BackStoppers, which supports the families of first responders who lose their lives in the line of duty. Since 2019, we’ve raised approximately $150,000 for that mission. Great BBQ, a full meal, 18 teams to sample, live music, kids’ activities, raffles, prizes, and an entire day of fun—all for just $20, and all for a cause that truly matters.
