Held annually on the last Friday and Saturday in July, the Irish Picnic transforms McEwen into a lively gathering place filled with the sights, sounds, and flavors of a true Middle Tennessee tradition.
At the heart of the event is its world-famous barbecue, with thousands of pounds of pork slow-cooked over hickory coals and served alongside a long-standing “secret sauce” recipe passed down through generations.
But the Irish Picnic is more than just great food. Visitors can enjoy:

Live music and dancing throughout the weekend
Family-friendly games and booths for all ages
A lively atmosphere rooted in community, faith, and tradition
A true homecoming experience, where generations return year after year to reconnect

Hosted by St. Patrick Church and School, the event remains a vital fundraiser while serving as a powerful example of community pride and volunteerism, with locals working around the clock to prepare food, operate booths, and welcome visitors from near and far.
For one weekend each summer, McEwen becomes more than a destination—it becomes a gathering place where tradition is honored, stories are shared, and community takes center stage.
