This isn’t your typical BBQ event! Hot air balloons will be set up on site at BBQU- LSUS Inaugural BBQ Competition, adding something you don’t usually see at a cook-off and giving the whole day a different feel.

Guests will be able to walk through the balloon area, take it all in, and even purchase a tethered ride for $25 per person to get a view of the event from above.

Between BBQ tasting, the Kids Zone, Cool Off Zone with the Pilots baseball short film, the Beer Garden, and everything happening across LSU Shreveport campus, this is one of those features that really sets the day apart. This event is hosted by the LSUS Foundation.
