The smell of smoked ribs. The sounds of laughter echoing through Downtown Nisswa. Crisp fall air and a full town of BBQ lovers. The 2025 Nisswa Fall Festival and Smokin’ Hot BBQ Challenge was everything we love about September in the northwoods — and we’ve got the photos to prove it.
From the early morning BBQ setups to the smell of competition ribs cooking, this year’s event brought out the best in competition, community, and, of course, cooking.
A big thank you to the Nisswa Chamber of Commerce for hosting this incredible event and continuing to bring people together each year to celebrate the season, local flavor, and small-town charm.
We spent the day capturing the flavors, faces, and festivities all across town. Scroll through the full photo gallery below to relive the day, and check out who took home the trophies.
