Sutherlin Throwdown is set to return this summer.

Established in 2023, the action-packed weekend will be held July 19th and 20th at Central Park. The event will feature a KCBS-sanctioned BBQ competition, a brew fest, cornhole tournaments, and live music – all to support Made for Trades. That is the scholarship and mentorship program for Douglas County students pursuing careers in skilled trades.

Barbecue teams, breweries, wineries and craft vendors can register early as spots are limited and are beginning to fill up quickly. To sign or get more information on Sutherlin Throwdown, go to: https://sutherlinthrowdown.org/
