Held the fourth weekend of March, small-town Ashburn welcomes visitors to the Fire Ant Festival, but not the ants themselves. Known for its wacky and off-the-wall activities, the festival hosted by GA BBQ Association offers family oriented fun for all ages. Activities include the fire ant calling contest, the giant fire ant maze, carnival, arts and crafts, fireworks, bands, 5K run and 1-mile fun run, BBQ cook off, and—now—a Pizza Cook-Off hosted by PCA!

Compete and put your pizza up against others pizza enthusiasts to potentially take home $1000. If you win an event, you can take part in competition with all other winners annually to win the title of “Pizza Cook-off Association National Champion”. Read the rules.

Cook on an outdoor pizza oven, gas or charcoal grill, or ceramic smoker. Pizza can be any style, as there will be certified judges provided by the PCA. Purchase your Cook ticket below.

If you want to be a Judge for this event, please log in to your member portal and select “Judges Registration” and register.

NOTE: This is free for spectators (no ticket required). Friday Night Turn In with Awards to follow at 9:30 p.m. right after Fireworks.
