Hammond’s Barbecue Challenge Offered a Tangipahoa Parish Weekend for Independence
For Independence readers, the Hammond Smokin’ BBQ Challenge offered a parish food event in downtown Hammond on March 27–28, 2026. The organizer’s program included professional competitors, a local Backyard Challenge and a division for children.

The combination of different competitive levels and community fundraising gave visitors more to follow than a single winning plate, while keeping the gathering centered on food.
