The McCormick Hospitality Tent
Most of the weekend’s events will take place in and around the McCormick Hospitality Tent at the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest (WCBCC) inside Liberty Park.
Shuttle transportation will be provided back and forth from the Courtyard Marriott to the North Entrance Gates at Liberty Park. Golf carts will often be available to cart you directly to the Hospitality Tent at R-026 (below the BBQ Alley sign on the map below). If one is not immediately available, the tent is a short walk directly south of the drop-off site.
Outside of scheduled activities, you will have ample time to walk the event grounds to soak up as much booze, barbecue, and blues as you can handle! Liberty Park is mapped below, courtesy of Memphis In May. You can access a PDF version with zoom capabilities here.
