Pat Green, one of the most popular entertainers in the history of Ruidoso Downs, returns for a special preseason engagement on Saturday, May 3. His concert will be part of the first $25,000 Kansas City Barbecue Society “Master Series BBQ Cook-Off” to be held May 2-3, 2025.
Green will be joined by Eric Willis and Brian Mars in an open-air stage that will be erected in the parking lot. The public will be invited for a mixer on Friday from 4PM to 9PM to sample desserts, side dishes and tacos. On Saturday, teams will compete in brisket, chicken, pork and rib categories.
Racing fans will be able to view the Kentucky Derby simulcast from Churchill Downs on Saturday afternoon and shop at various local vendors. Barbecue will be served to the public by K-Bob’s Steakhouse, and there will also be bourbon tastings.
This upcoming concert marks the fourth appearance by Pat Green at Ruidoso Downs over the years, having last appeared two years ago.
