Los Compadres Annual Deep Pit Barbecue

In 1941, the historic Palm Springs Western Week was sponsored by Los Compadres, one of the oldest and most active riding clubs in Palm Springs, CA. The event featured a parade down Palm Canyon Drive, a rodeo, a carnival street dance and a deep pit barbecue

Today, the Los Compadres Annual Deep Pit Barbecue is the only part of the Western Week tradition that has remained and continues to be one of the very few community-wide events of the season. It is held on the First Saturday in November and is typically attended on an average of 800-1,000 guests.

Los Compadres Club and Stables welcomes everyone from the community, residents and visitors to the Coachella Valley for good old-fashion western hospitality. Club members and their families pitch in to help with all the preparations beginning the previous Saturday when the clubhouse and grounds are made ready for the event. The menu remains the same, everyone experiences an evening of Los Compadres’ Hospitality at it’s best…the delicious beef barbecue is slowly roasted in our deep pit to create a tender, mouth watering dinner enjoyed by all along with music and dancing outdoors under the stars.

Partial proceeds from the event support the Los Compadres Scholarship Fund that promotes the advancement of Veterinarian Careers and other career pursuits.

The Annual Los Compadres Deep Pit Barbecue is an evening not to be missed and we hope that you will join us for some good old-fashion western hospitality, share in some great eating of authentic deep pit barbecue with lots of fun loving carrying on, western wear is always welcome.
