We are thrilled to celebrate our vital programs in the Muskegon community at our fifth annual Holy Smokes BBQ Competition. Holy Smokes will be held Saturday, May 17, at Pigeon Hill Brewing Company in downtown Muskegon from 4-7 p.m.

The Holy Smokes BBQ Competition, in downtown Muskegon, offers a lively evening where the community gathers to taste and vote for a variety of barbecue entries from local restaurants. Sip on craft brews, play yard games, and enjoy live entertainment all for an amazing cause!

This year’s competing teams were:

Matty’s Concessions & Catering Presents: Blazzin’ Glory BBQ – 2025 Judges’ Choice Winner

Pigeon Hill Brewing Company, LLC

Seminole Shores ALC

Dr. Rolf’s Barbeque – 2025 People’s Choice Winner

A&R Grills and Smokers

All proceeds from this event go towards CCWM’s St. Gianna’s No Cost Baby Boutique in Muskegon. Last year alone, we served over 2,000 children in Muskegon. This work is not possible without the support of our community. Come out and join us to support a meaningful cause and enjoy a lively afternoon!
