The 2025 installment of the Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue, or The Jack, will take place this weekend on the historic Lynchburg Square and Wiseman Park. And while all things barbecue will be the focus of the two-day event, the event organizers at The Jack Daniel Distillery and the Lynchburg Chamber of Commerce work hard to recruit an eclectic group of local, regional, and state vendors to the event.

In total, there will be nearly 30 arts and craft vendors located down in the park. We’ve reviewed the vendors list and came up with this list of Don’t Miss vendors who will be in Lynchburg this weekend.

1 | Asè Apothecary – Based out of Shelbyville, this local, small apothecary offers a variety of holistic products like teas, tinctures, raw herbs, and elderberry syrup as well as copper bracelets, and other fun accessories. We’re excited to check out her crystal water bottles. They’ll be down in Wiseman Park.

2 | The Farmyard Market – Their an award-winning sourdough bakery located just up the road in Manchester. They’ll offer fresh-baked artisan sourdough bread from classic to lemon blueberry as well as scones, focaccia bread, cookies, apple butter, and more. Look for them near the Lynchburg Gazebo on the square.

3 | ICEE – Okay do you remember ICEE – the gas station treat of our childhoods? Most folks don’t realize they are headquartered in nearby La Vergne, Tennessee. Come taste a cup full of nostalgia at the ICEE booth in Wiseman Park. They’ll serve blue and red cups full of the frozen carbonated beverage in fruit and soda flavors. It’s a made-in-Tennessee treat. They’ll be down in Wiseman Park.

4 | Sauce Daddy – One of the things we love to do is give small-batch, consumable gifts for holidays and birthdays and Sauce Daddy’s Hot Sauce is a real winner – especially among our guy friends. You can put it on everything from eggs to a Bloody Mary and they were founded right down the road in Huntsville. They’ll be down in Wiseman Park.

5 | BBQraft – This weekend’s all about barbecue, right? So, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the gorgeous BBQraft grilling tools. They took two passions – metalwork and woodwork – and blended them into some of the most artist and usefull grilling tools we’ve ever seen. If you got a barbecue guy or gal in your life, these would make a prefect holiday gift.

6 | BladeWorx – Inside our kitchen sit a pair of sewing scissors left to us by our grandmother, a former seamstress. Over the years (and while she turned over in her grave) we’ve cut plastic, paper, and even cardboard with them. We can not wait to take them to the BladeWorx Mobile Sharpening Service booth this weekend to bring them back to their former glory. Check them out in Wiseman Park.

7 | Cotton Creek Candles – Do you own a fireplace or know someone who does? In additional to creating handmade candles, Cotton Creek Candles creates wax-dipped pine cone fire starters that smell as good and they work. Plus they are just adorable and would make a fantastic holiday gift. She’ll also sell wax melts, small batch laundry powder, and candles in dozens of scents like Pumpkin Patch, Christmas Mulberry, and Campfire. They’ll be down in Wiseman Park.
