Smoke on the Water BBQ Festival

​Sanctioned by the Kansas City BBQ Association, the Smoke on the Water BBQ Festival is hosted yearly by the Rotary Clubs of Florence and Greater Shoals.  With over 30 BBQ teams competing, the public is welcome to join us for a day of music, craft vendors and most importantly, food.  At 11:30 there is a People's Choice Competition where you get a chance to sample BBQ from cook teams from across the country.
​
Join us on April 26 on the banks of the Tennessee River for this year's Smoke on the Water.

Sweet Sounds of the Shoals

Join us February 20th at the Renaissance Shoals Conference Center as we invited you to try some of the best desserts the Shoals has to offer. Multiple area restaurants will be vying for the title of Best Dessert in the Shoals and you will decide the winner. 

In addition, we will have Dueling Pianos featuring songs made famous in the Shoals Area. There will be a spirits pull, raffles and surprise games during this night out on the town!
