Smoke Under the Oaks Sponsor

LaBelle Downtown Revitalization Corporation (LDRC) proudly presents the 14th Annual Smoke Under the Oaks Rib Fest in Downtown LaBelle! This amateur rib cook-off takes place in our famous oak-canopied Barron Park. The smoky aromas lure residents and visitors to this annual event to judge each team's ribs and cast their vote for the team they feel deserves to be crowned the People's Choice Champion. Official judging is held to see who will be crowned 1st, 2nd, and 3rd with cash prizes and unique trophies. Guests can enjoy great food, beverages (including beer), and live music. Spend the day grazing on ribs and shopping local vendors. Smoke Under the Oaks Rib Fest will occur on Saturday, January 10, 2026, from 11:00am to 4:00pm. Come early for the Opening Ceremony at 10:30am. This event is free to attend and open to the public.
