Smokin’ on the Rio State Championship BBQ Cook-Off was established in 2004 by a group of local businessmen with the goal of raising money in support of youth agricultural projects in the Rio Grande Valley. The profits generated from the event have been used to purchase student projects at the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show’s Sale of Champions.
The 2012 event yielded a record breaking 150 cooking teams from as far away as San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas and over 6,000 attendees.
Smokin’ on the Rio is held every year during the last weekend of February at the RGV Livestock Show Grounds in Mercedes, Texas.
