Nisswa's 49th Annual Fall Festival and 19th Annual Smokin' Hot BBQ Challenge were a hit this year! We’re still savoring the mouthwatering ribs from the 2024 BBQ showdown. After finally going through our photos, we’re excited to share some of the highlights from the day.
As always, the event, organized by the Nisswa Chamber of Commerce, the city, dedicated volunteers, vendors, and of course, the talented pitmasters, was a fantastic celebration of fall in the Nisswa Lakes Area.
