SAVE THE DATES!!!
We are proud to announce that the Cocktail Trail will be returning to Downtown Paducah every 2nd Saturday July-December! This event series was extremely popular with our community & beyond in 2022 & 2023, and we have decided to bring it back just in time for the launch of the NEW Paducah Downtown Development/Main Street nonprofit organization.

This event series will serve not only as a fun & unique experience for participants, but as a way of showcasing the collaborative spirit of many of our incredible downtown restaurants, bars, and retail locations! Our organization's intention behind the relaunch of this event series is that the Cocktail Trail may become a consistent, annual fundraiser to assist with Paducah Main Street's mission as they embark on this next chapter!

Stay tuned for more details - all coming your way Saturday, June 28th! This will include event info for our July kick-off "Life's a Beach" Themed Shopping & Cocktail Crawl, this year's participating bars/restaurants/retail locations, and limited event pre-sale ticket sales will be going live at this time!

We will see all of your beautiful faces Saturday, July 12th!

A huge thank you to Midwest Living for the BBQ on the River 2025: A Homecoming Hoedown feature and to our Paducah Convention & Visitors Bureau for helping make these kind of things happen for our community!

We highly recommend taking a moment to read & celebrate an outside perspective of what makes Paducah so beautiful.

Situated along the Ohio River, Paducah is a worthy weekend getaway in a Kentucky town teeming with history, art and character. An officially designated UNESCO Creative City, Paducah is home to galleries, the National Quilt Museum, outdoor recreation, and great bourbon cocktails. Here's how to spend....

The BBQ on the River Planning Committee is proud to formally announce that the numbers are in, and a total has been determined for the charitable contributions made from BBQ on the River 2024.

$319,387.82 was raised for our local/regional charities & nonprofit organizations!

With 2022’s festival being Beautiful Paducah’s 1st year as the hosting organization, this brings BBQ on the River’s 3-year fundraising total to $1,035,644.53!

As our team begins counting down the days in 2025 until the 31st Annual BBQ on the River, both the BBQ on the River Planning Committee & Beautiful Paducah are honored to have the responsibility and opportunity to continue hosting an event that supported 91 different local/regional nonprofit organizations in 2024. With the help of the City of Paducah, we are committed to the continued growth & evolution of the festival - with even more fundraising opportunities, vendors, and experiences to come!

The dates for BBQ on the River 2025 are as follows:
Thursday, September 25th 11:00am-10:00pm
Friday, September 26th 11:00am-11:00pm
Saturday, September 27th 11:00am-11:00pm

Pre-registration for all new vendors interested in participating in this year’s event will begin online on Saturday, February 1st. Vendor applications for the 31st Annual BBQ on the River will be available beginning Monday, February 24th 2025. The pre-registration form and online application can be accessed on our festival website www.bbqpaducah.com and a link to these online forms will be included on our Beautiful Paducah homepage under the BBQ on the River tab, on the respective dates listed above.

For musicians interested in playing at BBQ on the River 2025, please email your music press kit & audio/video recordings & performance files to [email protected].

As a result of the groundbreaking for the Downtown Paducah BUILD Grant in our festival’s current location, and the Downtown City Block Parking Lot being made fully available for public use - The 31st Annual BBQ on the River will again undergo a change in footprint. BBQ on the River 2025 will be coming home! The festival will be returning to its original location until the completion of the Downtown Paducah BUILD Grant project, with the majority of vendors being placed in & around the Downtown Paducah Farmer’s Market & City Block parking lot.

As always, the mission of BBQ on the River is to cook the best BBQ in the world & raise the most money possible for local/regional nonprofits – all while maintaining a safe, family friendly environment for all in attendance. On behalf of the entire BBQ on the River Planning Committee, the Beautiful Paducah team, and all the charities and nonprofits benefiting from this event -THANK YOU PADUCAH & BEYOND!
