Our Party Under the Pines

I mean music and food. C'mon, you can't get much better than that!

Music and food—what could be better? Imagine 20,000 of your closest friends gathered under the pines of Fulwood Park. Rhythm & Ribs, held the first weekend in March in Tifton, is the ultimate celebration. With two BBQ competitions, over 100 vendors, over 200 classic and modern cars packed in front of the park, and endless fun! It’s an event you don’t want to miss.

Since gaining national attention from Food Network in 2022, thanks to the series BBQ USA with Chef Michael Symon, we’ve really made a mark. Our festival drew visitors from Buffalo, NY to Miami, FL, all eager to see what makes our BBQ stand out.

The North Side of the park features fun acts and interactive games for the kids (and adults have fun too), while the Main Stage kept the pines swaying with live music all day long. We cherish our community and are thrilled to offer this free event to residents and visitors! Rhythm & Ribs embodies what #thinktifton is all about—celebrating our friendly city, honoring our past, and building our future.

So, what’s in store for the best weekend of the year? We can’t wait to show you! See you the first weekend in March!
