Welcome to the First Annual Way Out West BBQ Competition!

Presented By:  Robert Davis Construction

Date: Setup July 3, 2009 - Judging & Awards July 4, 2009

Location: Weber Point Events Center, Stockton, CA

What better way to celebrate the most American of holidays than by bringing together two of America’s most favorite traditions…BBQ and fireworks.

The celebration begins July 3^rd as competition BBQ teams from across the Western United States converge at the Weber Point Event Center to compete for cash prizes, bragging rights, and a State Championship BBQ title. Once these competitors fire up their 'pits', downtown Stockton will be filled with the overwhelming aroma of smoke and spice awaiting your tasting and judgment the following day at the Second Annual Taste of San Joaquin. Friday evening ends with a spectacular fireworks display that will thrill and dazzle all of your senses!

On July 4^th, the premier celebration of food and entrainment comes together as 30 locally-owned and operated restaurants, wineries, and BBQ’rs, offer 'tastes' for as little as $1.00!!! Add live entertainment, sunshine and activities for the whole family and you have just experienced the most celebrated of American holidays in the best possible way.
