celebrating community. creating change
Meat & Tater BBQ Fest was built around one simple idea: bring people together and give back to the community we call home.
Hosted by the Meridian Lions Club, this event helps support programs and initiatives that create meaningful impact throughout the Treasure Valley. Proceeds from Meat & Tater BBQ Fest help support causes connected to the Lions mission, including:
- Vision assistance & eye care
- Diabetes education & outreach
- Food insecurity initiatives
- Youth programs and scholarships
- Assistance for individuals and community members in need
- Local service projects and nonprofit partnerships

Every registration, sponsorship, donation, meal ticket, and volunteer hour helps support real community impact.
Whether you come for the BBQ competition, the car show, the pancake breakfast, or simply to spend the day with friends and family, your participation helps fuel programs that improve lives and strengthen our community.
Smoke. Chrome. Community.
