Bassano

Our first stop took us to Bassano for the Small Town Smoke down BBQ competition. From pro pitmasters to a fantastic car show, this event delivered mouthwatering flavor and unforgettable community spirit. Plus, we explored the historic Bassano Dam — the lifeline that turned this region from arid prairie into thriving farmland.

Join us as we Explore the Town of Bassano

The Smalltown Smokedown event in @townofbassano offered much more than just a barbecue competition. They had a fantastic car show going on… the best car show by a dam site apparently.😂😜 This is the #smalltown lifestyle to a tee. Show up and Show off your ride and then relax and visit with the good people of the town. Check out the full episode later this week on our YouTube channel. We’re excited to hit more smalltown events like this. #BassanoAlberta #Carshow #showandshine #carshowseason #explorealberta #smalltownevent #BackroadsAlberta #25townsin2025 #townofbassano

We were pretty surprised how much went in to a small town bbq competition. The vibe was chill with everyone enjoying the day but things heated up with pros even from other provinces grilling for the prize.

The nice thing about a small town BBQ competition is how super friendly the competitors were. Even the pros let us in on the behind the scenes and gave us a taste of their culinary creations. #food #bbqcompetition #bbqseason #smalltownalberta #steak
