MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE ROTARY
CLUB OF BOULDER CITY ON FRIDAY, MAY 26 & SATURDAY MAY27

Experience the tastiest sights, sounds, and smells of some of the best barbecue in the country.

From fun festival food, rib eating contest, and beer tents to the Best Dam Car Show, Best Dam Rib Eating Contest and new this year, Best Dam Steak Off, attendees can expect a family friendly event start to finish at this year’s 19th Annual Best Dam Barbecue on Friday, May 26 and Saturday May 27. The Best Dam Barbecue is the largest fundraiser of the Rotary Club of Boulder City and has become a staple event for the Boulder City community. The competition starts on Friday at 1pm and awards for various categories will be presented Friday evening and Saturday afternoon in Bicentennial Park located at 999 Colorado Street.

“Indulge” in fun festival food from our returning favorite food truckies. From Funnel Cakes and Shaved Ice to delicious Barbecue Favorites, washed down with an ice cold Bud Light from the beer tent or a refreshing Margarita.

Get the kids involved with this year’s Kids-Que Barbecue challenge, where children ages 6 – 17 can compete for Cold Hard Cash. Application found at BestDamBarbecue.com under Kids- Que, application fee is $10 and must be submitted by Friday, May 26, 2023.

The Best Dam Barbecue pulls the nation’s best barbecuers as they compete for GRAND CHAMPION and their share of $8,500 in CASH PRIZES.

And as if the cash, prizes and trophies weren’t incentive enough for our challengers to grill like they’ve never grilled before, the Best Dam Barbecue is a qualifier for the Jack Daniels
World Championship Invitational Barbecue (aka “The Jack”)…one of the most prestigious barbecue competitions in the world!
Complementing this annual tradition is the Best Dam Car Show, presenting mild to wild, shiny to grungy, antiques to classics – countless participants will come together to show off their rides.

Expect live music Friday evening, the annual Best Dam Rib-Eating Contest, and adding to the line-up this year, the Best Dam Steak Cookoff. Entry fee separate from Best Dam Barbecue Team Entry, and the first 10 winners will walk away with cash prizes ranging from $1000 for first, $500 for second, $400 for 3rd, $300 for 4th, $200 for 5th, and 6-10th place will walk with $100 cold hard cash.
