71st Annual Laveen BBQ (2023)

The Laveen Community Council is excited to host the 71st Laveen BBQ at the beautiful Cesar Chavez Park on Saturday, February 25, 2023. The park has a plethora of open space to maintain adequate social distancing. Last year's Laveen BBQ was a huge success, with over 4,000 attendees. This year, we hope to have your support for the 71st Laveen BBQ, as we make this milestone event a huge success once again.

We have food and drinks, bands, over 100 vendors, a fun zone for all ages, and many other activities. This is Laveen's biggest community event for friends, family and neighbors to get together. We are reaching out to you because as always, it is our sponsors who make this event successful.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All profits go directly back into the Laveen community. Each year we provide scholarships to local high school graduates, give funds to various youth, school & community activities and provide fun events. The BBQ is a fantastic opportunity to enhance visibility and support for your business.

The Laveen BBQ represents a venue through which those living in Laveen and beyond can communicate with one another about their collective identity & distinctive ways of life.
