2025 Cowboy Cook-Off

A Los Fresnos Rodeo Production!


Open to the Public Date: Oct 11th

The competing cooking teams will arrive on Friday to set up and compete in one of the Jackpot competitions. On Saturday, the cooking teams have more Jackpots and will compete in the Sanctioned Barbecue event. Some of the teams will participate in the People’s Choice Award. These teams will be handing out free samples to the public, and the public will vote for their favorite team by placing a ticket supplied by the Cowboy Cook-Off in the team's location. The team with the most tickets wins a prize and an award plaque. Along with the Cowboy Cook-Off, we host a Marketplace where local artisans, clubs, and organizations have a venue to raise funds for their organizations.

Public Events (October 11th - Free to the public):

Pony Rides

Classic Car Show

Market Place

Live Music from Texas Showdown Band and Old Bones
