Past event: The most recent Orange Rotary Pitmaster’s BBQ we can confirm was held in 2024 (listed at the time as Sunday, October 15, 2024, 12:00–5:00 p.m.). We have not found a 2026 Ribfest or Pitmaster’s BBQ date. In June 2026, Orange Rotary hosted a chili cook-off fundraiser instead. Details below describe the last known BBQ format and are kept for reference.
This is Orange Rotary’s signature event raises funds and awareness for the club and the causes that they support: Youth Center of Orange, Senior Center, Beautification and Playground Projects for OUSD Schools, Teacher Grants & Awards, Youth Scholarships, Orange Police and Fire Awards, Youth Sporting Events & more.
