ABOUT Que on the Yazoo

Nestled along the banks of the Yazoo River, Que on the Yazoo is a BBQ cooking competition held the last weekend in the Spring. Que on the Yazoo will feature live music and activities for BBQ enthusiasts of all ages throughout the weekend. There is no admission fee. NO COOLERS!

Que on the Yazoo is held in historic downtown Greenwood, which celebrates a unique culinary heritage as it is home to Viking Range, countless Delta eateries and The Viking Cooking School. It is a fundraising project of Main Street Greenwood, Inc., a non-profit committed to the promotion and preservation of our downtown. Funds generated from Que on the Yazoo work to ensure that downtown remains a vital destination to live work and play.
