The Woodlands Barbecue Festival is bringing back the intoxicating scent of smoked meats to Town Green Park on Oct. 7.
Good barbecue is hard to come by, festival co-founder Stuart Lapp said.
Any fast food chain can slap pulled pork on a bun and call it a day, he explained, but true barbecue — made with the proper seasoning, attentive turning of meats and patient tending to the fire — is both an art and a craft.
Although it is one of the smaller festivals of Houston’s barbecue “season,” The Woodlands iteration is drawing 16 of the regions best-known barbecue joints — most of which are local mom-and-pop shops.
 Tickets are still available for The Woodlands BBQ festival at www.thewoodlandsbbq.com. General admission is $50 and VIP tickets — which includes early admission, two drink tickets, a T-shirt and a tote bag — are $100.

When: 1-4 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 7

Where: Town Green Park, The Woodlands
