Planning to enjoy BBQ on the River 2025 but need a safe ride home?

If you don’t have a designated driver, McCracken County ASAP will have LIME GREEN QR codes available on koozie sleeves, banners, cards, and more throughout the festival. These resources provide easy access to rideshare options and cab services so you can make responsible and smart decisions when it’s time to head home!

Access the Safe Ride app here: https://bit.ly/BBQOTR

We’re proud to continue our partnership with Beautiful Paducah to support a safe and enjoyable event. McCracken County ASAP is a coalition of community partners working to prevent substance abuse and support recovery for teens and adults.

Remember, buzzed driving is drunk driving—and DUI attorneys are expensive!
Stay safe, and look for LIME GREEN to find your safe ride home.
