After missing two years due to the pandemic, the Smokin’ in Steele BBQ and Blues Festival returns in 2022. The event features professional and amateur BBQ competitions, music, a car show, and food vendors. The annual event, which began in 2008, will be held at the county fairgrounds on June 3-4. Profits benefit the Owatonna Area Special Olympics and other local charities. The fest is a three-time winner of the Southern Minnesota Scene Readers Poll for Best Music Festival.
