The annual BBQ & Blues Cook-off started in 2009 as one of the Foundation's biggest fundraisers. It is an outdoor food and music event held in Downtown Foley's Heritage Park the second Saturday of March. A Kansas City Barbeque Society sanctioned event, the barbecue cook-off attracts both corporate and individual teams competing for bragging rights in several award categories. Festival goers enjoy great food, popular blues bands and children's activities. All proceeds support the South Baldwin Chamber Foundation. Thanks to the generosity of event sponsors and volunteers, the impact on our community and schools increases each year.
