Get ready to feast your taste buds and rev up your engines because the Las Vegas BBQ Festival & Car Show is making its sizzling return this November. Hosted by the Nevada BBQ Association, this mouthwatering event will take over the Red Rock Harley-Davidson on Saturday, November 16, from noon until 4 p.m., as reported by 8 News Now.
Thirteen barbecue teams, including some of the valley's finest pitmasters, are set to compete in a smoky showdown to crown the best barbecue in Las Vegas. Attendees can cast their votes in the 'People’s Choice' category. A $6,000 prize is up for grabs, and with live cooking demonstrations, games, raffles, and free face painting for kids, the event promises to be a family- and pet-friendly affair, according to the Eventbrite page.
Apart from the flair and flavor of the fest, it all goes down for a good cause—proceeds from the Las Vegas BBQ Festival will benefit The Foundation Assisting Seniors and The Buck Bedard Outdoor Foundation. While the gates are open for free to anyone wanting a gander at the shimmering cars and the whiffs of barbecued bliss, those hankering for a taste can purchase sample ticket packs, as per 8 News Now.
Anyone wondering about the details of getting a sample should know that each ticket provides one BBQ sample—whether it’s a rib, a chicken drum, or a BBQ side, you’re in for a treat. The sample ticket pack also includes voting tokens, allowing you to help decide who takes home the barbecue crown. To ensure you get your share, buying sample tickets ahead of time is advised—you don’t want to be left salivating if samples run out. Details can be found on their Eventbrite page.
Aspiring pitmasters haven't been left in the dust—the Nevada BBQ Association welcomes those who feel their barbecue chops are up to snuff to throw their hats in the ring by registering for the competition at www.nvbbq.org/lasvegasbbqfestival. So, mark your calendars, because a celebration of good food, shiny cars, and worthwhile community causes is just around the corner in the heart of Las Vegas.
