Great
Western Stage Show and Delicious Barbecue Supper
Memorial Day Weekend thru Labor Day
The
Bar D Chuckwagon has served over two million guests.
Located under the majestic red cliffs in the Animas Valley a few miles
north of Durango, the Bar D has been open every summer evening since
1969, offering a live stage show and chuckwagon supper. The show lasts
nearly an hour and is fun for the whole family. The Bar D Wranglers
perform songs about the Old West in the style of classic cowboy movies.
The show blends tunes with three-part harmony, high-energy instrumentals,
and comedy.
The show starts
right after a delicious barbecue supper with a choice of roast beef,
chicken breast, or rib-eye steak, including homemade biscuits, foil-wrapped
potato and baked beans. The serving line can serve 700 guests in less
than 30 minutes, using metal plates and cups reminiscent of those carried
by the chuckwagons in the Old West.
The show is performed
outdoors under the Colorado sky. When the weather is rainy, the eating
area is covered. Supper is served at 7:30 pm sharp and the show finishes
around 9:30 pm. There are several souvenir shops with the feel of a
frontier town, an authentic reconstruction of an Old West chapel, and
a miniature train for the kids to ride around the Bar D spread.
