NBC Watertown Hits the Road with America 250 BBQ Tour
May 05, 2026 09:00AM ● By Kenzie Shiver
As the country gears up to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, NBC Watertown is hitting the road in a big way – bringing food, fun, and community spirit directly to you.
Introducing the America 250 BBQ Tour – a weekly summer series where our team rolls into communities across the North Country with our NBC Watertown truck and trailer, firing up the grill and serving up a classic American favorite: hamburgers and hot dogs.
Starting Tuesday, May 26, the tour will pop up at different locations every week from 11:30am to 1:30 pm, giving viewers a chance to grab lunch, connect with local businesses, and celebrate everything that makes our community special.
And leading the charge? None other than our very own “Grill King” Mike.
Mike will be leading the way all summer long - on the grill and out in the community - helping spotlight local businesses at every stop along the tour.
Each location will feature a different local business sponsor, helping us highlight the people and places that keep the North Country thriving.
We will be announcing each week’s stop on social media, so be sure to follow along – you won’t want to miss when we roll into your neighborhood.
To wrap things up in a big way, the tour will go into overdrive the week leading up to Independence Day, with special cookouts on:- June 29
- June 30
- July 1
- July 2
- July 3
It’s our way of closing out the tour and kicking off the Fourth of July celebrations with a full week of food, fun, and community pride.
So, grab your friends, bring your appetite, and keep an eye on our social channels – because this summer, NBC Watertown is bringing the BBQ to you.
