All-you-can-eat fish fry returns to Buckhannon Oct. 3

All-you-can-eat fish fry returns Oct. 3 at the Peak Pavilion, 4–7 p.m., with advance tickets $20 adults/$10 kids; proceeds fund the 2026 Almost Heaven BBQ Bash.

Love a good meal of fish, but it’s hard to find locally? After a very successful fall event, the “All-You-Can-Eat Fish Fry” is back Friday, Oct. 3, at the Peak Pavilion (BiCentennial Inn — 90 East Main Street in Buckhannon) from 4 to 7 p.m.

Advance tickets purchased by Friday, Sept. 26, are $20 for adults and $10 for kids 12 years of age or younger. Enjoy freshly cooked-on-site whiting, French fries, hushpuppies, corn on the cob, dessert and bottled water. Takeout meals, available at the same prices, are not all you can eat, but will include a generous meal portion. Tickets purchased after Sept. 26 or on site are $25 for adults; kids are still $10 each.

Sit, relax and enjoy a great meal at the Peak Pavilion, with soft drinks and adult beverages available for purchase at the outdoor bar.

Our fall fish fry is a fundraiser for the 2026 Almost Heaven BBQ Bash to assist in funding some special new activities planned for the weekend of June 18-20, 2026, in the Jawbone Park area of downtown Buckhannon.

Advance tickets are available for purchase at Mama Roma’s Italian Restaurant and The BiCentennial Inn, and can be ordered on our website at www.almostheavenbbqbash.com by clicking on “Fish Fry” with quick, easy payment via PayPal (credit card).

For more information, call toll-free 866-710-7600 and be sure to “LIKE” the Almost Heaven BBQ Bash Facebook page for event announcements and updates.
