The Barbeque on the Bow Society will be on the September long weekend. Our new location is 5151 101 St NW, Calgary, AB T3L 1S4. Contact us at bowteamsinfo@gmail.com or text at 403.807-3119 for more information.
BBQ on the Bow is one of just a few longest-running continuous sanctioned BBQ competitions in North America as we managed to have our 29th and 30th-year events in a campground during Covid. This will be year 31. For 2022 we decided to run two smaller events, one in Bassano in June and our own in Calgary in September. Next year we are looking forward to bringing back the bands and all the vendors that go with it.
