Help Us Make Next Year’s Smoke on the Square Even Bigger & Better!

This year’s Smoke on the Square was a roaring success—and we’re just getting started. It takes a passionate community to build an extraordinary event, and we are looking for local leaders, doers, and BBQ enthusiasts to join our Official Planning Committee for next year’s festival.

Whether you’re a master of logistics, a marketing maven, or just love seeing downtown Lancaster thrive, we have a seat at the table for you.
