Event Details

If you have a middle or high schooler who loves the sizzle of a grill, it’s time to let them show off their skills. The 5th Annual Junior Grillmasters Competition, proudly presented by Publix, is firing up once again at this year’s Pig on the Pond Community Festival—and it’s one of the event’s most popular crowd-pleasers.

This friendly competition gives young chefs a chance to step into the spotlight with a hands-on, safe grilling experience, plenty of cheering from the crowd, and—of course—some serious bragging rights. Whether they’re already a backyard BBQ boss or just discovering their love for grilling, Junior Grillmasters is all about confidence, creativity, and fun.

Spots are limited, so families are encouraged to sign up early. Register here: https://www.eventeny.com/events/vendor/?id=42566
