Country music star Chris Janson is coming to Owensboro, Kentucky's annual BBQ & Barrels Festival. Chris will be closing out the event on Saturday, May 11th on the front lawn of the Owensboro Convention Center. This marks the center's 10th anniversary and the City of Owensboro is celebrating with a FREE Chris Janson concert.

This Chris Janson concert is one of two big new additions to 2024's BBQ & Barrels. The second big announcement came late last week. The City of Owensboro is hosting a 50/50 raffle at the event. Inspired by the insane success of the raffle held annually at the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival in Evansville, BBQ & Barrels is looking to create a similar half pot frenzy in downtown Owensboro.
