REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. – DNREC’s Division of Parks & Recreation plans to host their 4th annual “Boo-Que By the Sea” later this month.

This two-day barbeque cook-off competition is a three-part festival, including a professional barbeque competition sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS), a local BBQ pork competition hosted by La Vida Hospitality, and activities for the entire family both days.

From 6 PM to 9 PM on Friday, join the Kansas City Barbeque Competitors for a spooky evening filled with trick or treating, kids’ costume contest, and the chance for visitors to sample and select the “people’s choice award” winners for chicken wings.

The “everything BBQ” will take place from 2 PM to 7 PM on Saturday, featuring a professional and amateur BBQ Competition. Numerous amateur and professional BBQ’ers will cook and serve their best pulled pork recipes for a chance to be crowned champion.

We’re told all proceeds from the event will benefit the Delaware Children in Nature Endowment Fund, which gives young people opportunities to participate in outdoor experiences.

Boo-Que will take place October 19th & 20th, at Delaware Seashore State Park. Festivities will kick off at 6 PM on Friday the 19th. More information on the event or how to enter the competitions can be found here.
