Bringing Together BBQ Enthusiasts, Pitmasters, and Competition Teams to Celebrate the Art of Barbecue Across the Great Lakes Region!
Founded in 2007, the Great Lakes Barbecue Association was established to promote barbecue, grilling, and all forms of outdoor cooking-not just here in our home state of Michigan but throughout the entire Great Lakes region.
Our mission is to create opportunities for members, their families, business partners, and the public to unite through cooking classes, events, and competitions. We aim to foster an environment where ideas, tips, recipes, and even those closely guarded secret ingredients can be shared and celebrated.
Join us as we build connections and grow the vibrant BBQ community across the Great Lakes region!
