Annual Poker Run & Community BBQ

Join us for the SW Montana Veterans Food Pantry & Services Annual Poker Run & Community BBQ on Saturday, August 22, 2026!

This family-friendly community event brings together motorcycle riders, car enthusiasts, truck owners, hot rod fans, veterans, and supporters from across Montana for a day of fun, food, and giving back to those who have served our country.

Participants will travel a scenic route through Southwest Montana, collecting poker hands at designated stops before returning to the Tri-County Fairgrounds in Deer Lodge for an afternoon of food, raffles, prizes, and community fellowship. Whether you're riding a motorcycle, driving a classic car, bringing your truck, or simply joining us for the BBQ, everyone is welcome.

All proceeds from the Poker Run and Community BBQ directly support the mission of SW Montana Veterans Food Pantry & Services, helping us provide food assistance, transportation support, outreach programs, mental health and wellness resources, and other critical services to veterans and their families throughout Southwest Montana.

Event Highlights:

• Poker Run (Motorcycles, Cars, Trucks & Hot Rods Welcome)
