In 2018 the Rodeo Committee decided to host another event to bring another family-friendly event to the Lower Cameron County area and this is where the Los Fresnos Cowboy Cook Off was born. The Los Fresnos Cowboy Cook Off is a competitive event for cooking teams located all over the state of Texas and is sanctioned by the Champions Barbecue Alliance. We have had over 40 teams compete in this event in years past and we hope to continue hosting this event for many years to come.

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 Market Place where local artisans, clubs, and organizations have a venue to raise funds for their organizations. One can also enter their classic vehicle in our competitive Classic Car Show hosted by Brownsville Classics Car Club. To keep the event festive, live music will be provided by local bands and high school music groups.
