Best Dam Barbecue

Located in Boulder City, Nevada’s Historic Bicentennial Park – thirty minutes from the Las Vegas strip and 15 minutes from Hoover Dam – the Best Dam Barbecue is an event you don’t want to miss!

Since 2005, being a part of this two day fun-filled event has become a tradition not only for thousands of guests, but for our vendors and our barbecue challengers – many of whom travel in from California, Arizona, Utah and Montana to participate.

The Best Dam Barbecue Challenge is held each Memorial Day Weekend – so mark your calendars for our 2019 event on Friday, May 24th from 4pm – 10pm and Saturday, May 25th from 9am – 6pm!

Event includes: Live Entertainment, car show, grilling lessons for kids, rib eating contest.

This event is the primary fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Boulder City — but is FREE TO THE PUBLIC, so please come on out for one or both days and join us for all the fun!
