West Nugget Rib Cook-Off @ Sparks - August 31-September 5
By West nugget rib cook-off |
Tue, 31 May 2011
Each year, the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off transforms the Labor Day
holiday in downtown Sparks into a must-attend culinary, music, craft, and family
end-of-summer affair. The 2011 event will be held on August 31 - September 5.
Free live entertainment on multiple stages, kid-specific activities, a
world-championship rib-eating contest and multiple city blocks of craft vendors
combine with the rib cookers to create a unique event for the whole family. Each
year, dozens of chefs from across the USA come to Sparks to vie for a huge cash
purse and the title of “Best of the West.”
More than 100 tons of ribs are served during the long weekend event that
has drawn more than 500,000 visitors during the long holiday weekend.
All food booths will be open from 11:00am—9:00pm, Wednesday—Sunday and from
11:00am—5:00pm on Monday. Food and concessions will be available during event
hours only. The Kids' Area is open every day. Pets and non-service animals are
not permitted on Victorian Square.
