    Calling All Competitors!

    The Best Dam Barbecue Challenge is not only a KCBS-sanctioned event, but we are the State Championship that serves as a qualifier for both the Jack Daniels World Championship Invitational Barbecue and the American Royal World Series of Barbecue!

    In addition, we are the first of the two competitions that determine who is crowned the Nevada State Barbecue Champion and win an additional $3,000 in prize money!

    Barbecue, Festival Food & Vendors

    Of course, we’re ALL about serving up the best tasting barbecue west of the Mason-Dixon line…but what would an outdoor event on Memorial Day Weekend be without ice cold beer, frozen lemonade, garlic fries, cotton candy and shaved ice?!

    Enjoy award-winning barbecue from seven of our competition teams and all of your favorite festival food as you enjoy a beautiful Memorial Day Weekend in Boulder City’s Bicentennial Park!

  • Best Dam Barbecue Entertainment

    Live musical entertainment will once again be on tap at the main stage of the Gazebo in Bicentennial Park…we are currently accepting inquiries and audition samples for our 2012 Headliner Band!
