The BBQ on the River and Fly In committee is proud
to continue to bring you the biggest festival in
Excelsior Springs. Because of our continued support
of our local heroes and the Military, we are proud
to have our branches of service recognized at our
contest. The Apache Helicopter will take flight in
support of our contest and land nearby for all to
see.
Along with the Military activities, we will
be giving rides on the Remax Hot Air Balloon, a
performance by the Willie Arthur Smith’s Marching
Cobras, live performances by The Salem Road Band,
Twisted Rootz Band and JD and the Chasers Band, food
vendors, novelty vendors, and a beer and wine
garden. For the young BBQ enthusiasts, we have
a special kids area with inflatable rides and a dunk
tank.
 
 
Local business owners will stay open late to
enable our guests to take advantage of their one of
a kind wares and offer discounts at their unique
shops.
This years event is sure to be an action packed,
family event.
