Something To Do
 Meridian is also home to a
number of special events. The pride of Meridian events is
the National Championship Barbecue Cookoff,
now held the fourth week
of each October. Almost 200 champion barbecue cookers meet
in Meridian by invitation only. They must qualify by
placing at a cookoff in accordance with the rules of the
National Championship Barbecue Cookoff. Barbecue
Cookoff weekend is highlighted by a parade that features local
and area floats, bands, horses and sometimes Texas Longhorn
Steers.
The Meridian Chamber of Commerce annually holds its ChiggerFest
Barbecue Cookoff, usually in June. It is held in
association with the Bosque County Go Texan Committee and
follows rules that qualify local winners for the National
Championship Barbecue Cookoff in Meridian and Go Texan events at
the Houston Stock Show and Rodeo.
At Christmas, the Chamber of Commerce sponsors the grand finale
for the year. The annual Christmas parade, held the first
Saturday of each December, culminates with the lighting of the
courthouse for the holiday season.
