The DuPont BBQ Cookoff is a high-energy, family-friendly event that brings together the best of backyard flavor and national competition. Officially sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society, the BBQ Cookoff draws top pitmasters from across the country. But it’s more than just BBQ — it’s a celebration of community, veterans, music, and summer vibes in the heart of DuPont, with two full days of food, music, kids activities, vendors, and fun at Clocktower Park Saturday & Sunday, August 16 & 17, 2025. Produced by the Dupont American Legion “Pat Tillman Memorial” Post #53 with all proceeds benefitting community veteran and youth programs.
