Now in its 4th year, the Ceres Bands, Brews & BBQ Throwdown, formerly known as Ceres Smoke on the Ri
ver, is a KCBS State Championship Qualifying and CBBQA ToY (Team of the Year). This year's contest features two divisions: Professional and Amateur/Backyard. Teams will be competing this year for $7,600 in cash and prizes!
This year's PRO Division Grand Champion will receive an automatic entry to the American Royal World Series of Barbecue® Invitational Contest. This year's American Royal will be held September 2, 2017 and will host some of the most talented teams from across the world.

We're adding a Craft Brew Competition this year. We are set on finding California's Best BBQ Brew! This will take place on Saturday as will a Rib-Eating Contest. BBQ Tastings begin Saturday at 2:00 p.m. and are sure to sell out fast so make sure to get to this year's event early.
