It’s Bikes, Blues & BBQ weekend, which means more than 1,000 (and less than 1 million) motorcycle enthusiasts will be wearing their vests and getting buck wild in Fayetteville over the next two days.

On Friday night, the rally’s annual People’s Choice Barbecue Competition is going down at the Washington County Fairgrounds beginning at 6 p.m. Plates are $10, and you can cast your vote to help determine this year’s champion.

Music-wise, locals Earl & Them, 80s tribute band Members Only, and rockabilly piano player Jason D. Williams headline the Bikes, Blues & BBQ main stage down on Dickson Street.

There’s music all day at George’s as well, with Gary Hutchison, Arkansauce, Groovement, Vintage Pistol, Oreo Blue, and Mountain Sprout all set to perform. Here’s a link to the schedule.
