88th Annual Kamiah BBQ Days
August 29 – September 2, 2024
Theme:
Kamiah – A great place to live, work and play!
Grand Marshal: DawnMarie Johnson
Outstanding Community Member: Dale Schneider
In 1936, a group of community minded merchants began to offer a free barbeque dinner as a way of saying thank you to area residents for their patronage. The Kamiah Chamber has carried on the tradition of BBQ Days for more than 80 years, organizing and sponsoring nearly every aspect of the Labor Day weekend event. Today, thousands of residents, former residents, and visitors take part in BBQ Days – and the event continues to grow each year.
