Golf carts will be running from 3:30pm-9:30pm from the Harbor to Harrison Street. There will be reserved parking lots of the teams competing in the BBQ competition so you will need to find parking on the side streets and downtown. Additional parking will be North of Equity Bank, around the Courthouse and other streets similar to Jubilee Days and Heritage Days.
The Taste of Benton County is in conjunction with the Smokin’ on the Harbor BBQ Competition, which is a Kansas City BBQ Society sanctioned competition.
