Our 11^th annual BBQ contest will take place in Historic Downtown Excelsior Springs.  The beautiful Hall of Waters, in the heart of downtown, will serve as the judging area and turn-in location for our competition. Local business owners would like to invite you to visit our unique shops, restaurants, and saloon that align The Historic Hall of Waters District. If our guests are in need of a hotel for your visit, we recommend the Historic Elms Resort and Spa. The Elms has offered a special BBQ rate for our participants. Please call 816-630-5500 for reservations.

                                      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, weather permitting, 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, Cline's Opry 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 new this year, a KidsQue for 5-15 year old BBQers.

 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.

Please thank our many sponsors, without who all the fun activities could not be provided.
