Let dad enjoy the smoke this Father’s Day weekend at the
Smokin’ Shrine BBQ Cook-Off
Saturday, June 20, 2026
11 am – 5 pm
Don’t give Dad another boring pair of socks. Show him how much you appreciate him by bringing him out to the Smokin’ Shrine, Aladdin’s Shrine’s inaugural BBQ Cook-Off.
It’s the day before Father’s Day, so Dad isn’t losing his special day with family. You’re just turning it into a whole weekend of celebrating him with the entire family in tow. It’s the perfect place to bring all the dads in your life and show them how much you understand the stuff they love to do.
We’ll have corn hole and other games dad likes, as well as music, cigars, and beer and food for purchase. We’ll also have bounce houses to keep the kids entertained while dad does his thing.
In the midst of all the fun is a barbeque competition where pit masters are smoking ribs and pulled pork. Does Dad like to hang with the guys around the smoker and trade smoking tips and techniques? Does he like to brag about his own smoked meat endeavors? Then he’ll be right at home!
