Smoke on the Square BBQ Contest

08/08/2025

‼️ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ‼️

📣We are a little late on getting the news out, but we will not be able to host Smoke on the Square this year (2025).

Unfortunately, our event organizer has undergone several surgeries this past year due to some health problems, and is taking time off to fully recover.

We love all of our supporters, and appreciate all the donations over the years from local businesses and individuals. This little town sure knows how to show up for each other. 🧡💛🤍

We are hoping that with some much needed rest and time off, we can come back even bigger and better next year! If you are interested in being on the committee, or volunteering the day of--please reach out to us. The help would be greatly appreciated!

WE LOVE DADE COUNTY, AND WE LOVE A HAND UP MINISTRY!

Pray with us about how to move forward next year. 🙏We would love to put on a great event for our wonderful community!

We will let you know a date for 2026 as soon as we can! 📅
