Marietta, OH
April 23 & 24, 2021
Welp, RVBBQTrail.com is finally back on the road after a paltry 2020! And we kick off our 2021 season with an action and protein-packed event at the Marietta River City BBQ Cook-Off! Organizer, Emmeline Wharton, puts her heart and soul into this event and it shows with her attention to detail.
Some of the things we love about BBQ are the places it takes us. Take Marietta, OH; located on two rivers and was the first settlement of the Northwest Territory. Downtown is welcoming and engaging with plenty of restaurants and taverns. Marietta is one of those places that you will remember fondly with intentions of wanting to return!
