Riverway Meats BBQ Battle

02/10/2026

MAY 21-22 2027 RIVERWAY BBQ BATTLE- BARTLETT PARK
The BBQ Battle returns in 2027 bigger, bolder and built for families, food lovers and the Townsville community. https://tsvbbqbattle.com/partners/

Following a successful 2026 event, we are targeting 6,000-7,000 attendees across the weekend and are actively seeking businesses that want more than logo placement.

At BBQ Battle, we focus on creating genuine partnerships that provide brand exposure, content creation opportunities, customer engagement and meaningful community connections.

More Than a Weekend Event

Our sponsorship campaign begins months before event day, giving partners the opportunity to receive ongoing exposure through social media, promotional campaigns, community appearances and content creation opportunities throughout the year.
This ensures your investment delivers value long before the first smoker fires up.

We're not looking for sponsors. We're looking for partners.
