MEAT. FIRE. AND ALL THINGS QUE.

After a baptism of fire in 2020, The Urban BBQ Festival is back for a second round of meat, music and BBQ mayhem.

More food vendors, more BBQ supplies, demos, tastings and a rocking line up of music and entertainment that will keep you by the pits all day long.

You asked for grass and trees, and we listened. Now in the Waikoko Gardens, it's the perfect spot to spread out and enjoy an epic day of BBQ and good times.
