39th Annual McBride Military Appreciation BBQ

Central States Fairgrounds (Nerdy Nuts Building)

Join us for the 39th Annual McBride Military Appreciation BBQ on July 11, 2025, at the Central States Fairgrounds (Nerdy Nuts Building).
With a variety of activities and live entertainment, there’s something for everyone in the family to enjoy.
This free event is open to the public.

What began 39 years ago as a simple BBQ has blossomed into a cherished community tradition, now welcoming over 500 military families.
The Black Hills community deeply appreciates the selfless dedication of our military members and their families in defending our freedoms. Each year, at the Military Appreciation Event, we honor several distinguished Airmen and Soldiers for their exemplary achievements both in their careers and within the community.
