Roanoke-Chowan Pork-Fest
The Roanoke-Chowan Pork-Fest is an annual regional event held each May since 2002[1] on the grounds of the Brady C. Jefcoat Museum in Murfreesboro, North Carolina.[2][3] It is noted as a showcase to sample the type of cooking the region is famous for.[4]
Largely a barbecue cooking contest, funds from the event benefit the maintenance and operation of the Museum. Judgement of the winner is performed by 3 certified, licensed judges selected from a list of approved judges from the North Carolina Pork Council.[5]
In 2010, the first place prize was awarded as a tie for the first time to Fred Woodard of Smithfield, Virginia and J.W. Condon of Newport, North Carolina.[6] The competition is sanctioned by the North Carolina Pork Council[7] and is part of the Whole Hog Barbecue Series[8] where the winners of this competition compete for the state championship in Raleigh each October.[7] Several winners of the Roanoke-Chowan Pork-Fest have won the state championship including one year where the first, second and third place winners of the state championship were from this competition.[5]
No event was held 2020-2023 because of the pandemic but it was reinstated in 2024.[9]
