Music on the Porch -- Saturday, September 5, 2026
This year's event falls on Labor Day Saturday September 5, 2026. We are excited to announce the addition of the Dillsboro Smokeshow BBQ Competition to this years event. Fill out the BBQ Contestant form if you or someone you know is interested in being a contestant in the BBQ competition. There will also be a sides and dessert category for those who do not want to person a smoker all day. Email Ann at ann@innovationbrewingnc.com if you are interested in submitting a side or dessert.

To see some great images from Music on the Porch 2025 by one of our sponsors, Terri Clark Photography check the event page.
