Come show off your cooking skills!

📅 Date: October 25
📍 Location: Dam Site Park, Bull Shoals, AR


Do you make the kind of chili that clears the room—in a good way? Is your pulled pork the stuff legends are made of? Maybe your cornbread, cobbler, casseroles, or sweet treats always have friends and family coming back for seconds. If so, the Big Dam Food Fight is calling your name!


Hosted by the Bull Shoals Chamber of Commerce and located down the road from the iconic Bull Shoals Dam at Dam Site Park/Campground, this deliciously fun competition is your chance to show off your culinary skills, win bragging rights, and take home cash prizes. From savory to sweet, locals and visitors alike will be bringing their best dishes to the table—and only the tastiest will triumph.


Whether you’re cooking, cheering, or just coming to taste, the Big Dam Food Fight promises bold flavors, friendly competition, and a Big Dam good time.
