BBQ cOOK-OFF - VISITORS GUIDE: JAN 29-30, 2027 - Gates open 4:00 PM Nightly

🔥 NEW FOR THE 2027 HUMBLE BBQ COOK-OFF! 🔥

We’re changing things up a little this year!

For the 2027 Humble BBQ Cook-Off, there will no longer be a Public Plaza. Instead, food and fun will be spread throughout the Cook-Off grounds!

🍖 FREE SANDWICH MEAL WITH ADMISSION
Your admission includes a complimentary sandwich meal while supplies last. Meals are first come, first served and quantities are limited.

🚚 FOOD TRUCKS
Food trucks will be on-site with additional food and treats available for purchase.

🔥 COOK TEAMS THROUGHOUT THE GROUNDS
You’ll find cook teams all around the Cook-Off, bringing the atmosphere, music and BBQ competition you know and love.

PLEASE NOTE: Not all cook team tents are open to the public. Each team determines access to its tent, so please respect posted signage and team policies.

We’re looking forward to another great year of BBQ, friends and fun at the 2027 Humble BBQ Cook-Off!
