Apex Sunrise Rotary is proud to present the 9th Annual Bone Suckin’ Sauce Peak City Pig Fest, which is sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS), the nation’s leading BBQ sanctioning body. 42 cook teams will compete for more than $12,000 in prize money cooking chicken, ribs, beef brisket and pork. The Bone Suckin’ Sauce Peak City Pig Fest is the one of the top KCBS-sanctioned event in North Carolina.

All the fun starts Friday evening with a beer garden, live music and of course BBQ.. It’s a time for family, friends, and neighbors to get out and enjoy each other and the atmosphere. You’ll also be able to stroll around the competition area as cook teams get ready for an all-nighter of cooking their best BBQ. Be sure to stay to watch the rib eating contest between the Apex Police Department and the Apex Fire Department.

Proceeds from the Bone Suckin’ Sauce Peak City Pig Fest support the Apex Sunrise Rotary Foundation, which in turn provides funding to various worthy charities within the community. Since 2014, the foundation, a 501(c)(3), has raised more than $100,000 for organizations locally and internationally. By participating and attending, you’re helping our foundation continue to give back to so many in need.

The Bone Suckin’ Sauce Peak City Pig Fest is sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS). Judging will be conducted by 100% KCBS certified judges using KCBS rules. The Bone Suckin’ Sauce Peak City Pig Fest is one of the top KCBS-sanctioned competitions on the east coast with several of our Grand Champions moving on to compete in the Jack Daniels World Championship Invitational.
