It’s a Pickleball Festival not a Tournament
BPB is unlike anything else!
If you thrive on competition, we're definitely your scene. And if you prefer chillin’, and sipping on a drink while you dink around, we've got you covered too. That's the beauty of our festival –
it's all about playful competitiveness and pickle discovery.
It's a wicked spin on pickleball as you know it. We’re introducing new formats of games you know, plus injecting mini-brackets with revelry, while sprinkling a dash of rivalry into everything we do. Having fun is critical–this is the place to meet people, play, and have a ball!
For those of you who like to play to win, there's certainly no participation ribbons or those dinky little medals here! At the bash, you're playing for Championship Belts, Yardlong trophies, and a wad of cash that’ll make any Texan beam with pride.
