Thousands of people go hog wild for a taste of authentic barbecue and a chance to see a professional cooking competition up close at Smoke on the Mountain each year in Galax, VA. This competition, held each July, is Virginia's official state barbecue championship.
The streets of downtown Galax are packed with people an the air is filled with fragrant clouds of hickory smoke and the tangy bite of vinegar with mustard, mingling with sweetness of tomato and the mouth-watering sizzle of slow cooked pork.
Smoke on the Mountain promises all that, plus live music, crafters, vendors, children's activities and other attractions on several blocks of historic downtown Galax.
This year's 9th Annual Smoke on the Mountain, July 19-20, is sponsored by the Twin County Regional Chamber of Commerce, The Galax Smokehouse restaurant and the City of Galax.
During the 2nd week of August of each year the City of Galax has the world tapping its feet as the Old Fiddlers Convention takes place in Felts Park. The convention is presented by the Galax Moose Lodge #733.
