Deep Pit BBQ & Fair
Throughout the New World, the indigenous peoples of the Americas cooked in the earth. The original use of buried cooking in ground pits was done by the Native Americans for thousands of years. Traditional Californian pit barbecuing has been replaced by modern conveniences. However, this tradition continues in Descanso, 45 minutes east of San Diego. Our Lady of Light started a local tradition in 1937. A real Deep Pit BBQ. After days of prep using cords of oak firewood and locally grown beef, the pit is ignited, meat wrapped placed in the pit. 28 hours later some of the best tasting beef is enjoyed.
This community event has art, collectibles, clothes, and many vendors will be on hand for the 81st annual Deep Pit BBQ and community fair. $1,000 cash drawing and lots of raffle gifts.
