Basin BBQ Bash to bring in thousands to LakeTown Landing.
The Moses Lake Business Association (MLBA) is putting on a one-day event on Saturday, September 24th that is sure to bring in the crowds to LakeTown Landing, Moses Lake’s downtown shopping district. Third Avenue from Alder to Dogwood would be shut down to traffic and be filled with participants from the Pacific Northwest BBQ Association as well as a car show, commercial and food vendors, live entertainment all day in Sinkiuse Square as well as a Kid’s Zone.
Entertainment for the event includes the Lake City Blues band, Bill Ecret Entertainment, who will MC the event ,as well as Dime Store Prophets. Entertainment starts at 11am with the Lake City Blues band who will play until 1pm, and then again from 2pm until 4pm and continues throughout the day with Dime Store Prophets playing from 5-7pm.
This event is a family friendly event that will include a Kid’s Zone that will include Chalk on the Block, face painting, the Kangaroo Bounce House and a hands-on Science Booth brought to you by the Girl Scounts of Eastern & Northern Idaho.
Jim McKiernan, Moses Lake Business Association Secretary, says “Central Washington needs some larger events that draw people from the rest of the state. With the popularity of cooking shows on TV, specifically BBQ Pitmasters, etc, the BBQ competition seemed like a great idea. We hope to see it eventually draw ten’s of thousands of people to downtown Moses Lake similar to the competition in Yakima.”
Marianne Kirwan, Moses Lake Business Association Executive Director, says “The Basin BBQ Bash is sure to be a fun day…live music…commercial and food vendors…car show…Kid’s Zone…and a BBQ competition! Bring your family out and enjoy our beautiful downtown!”
