This looks like an awesome event! Unfortunately I have another commitment that day. I hope you all get a chance to make it! ~DRR

1st Annual Arizona BBQ Festival in Scottsdale

WHOLE FOODS FARMER’S MARKET
A full food experience on the day of the event, celebrating our local growers and farmers. The Whole Foods Farmer’s Market will feature the best our state has to offer in fruits, vegetables, meats and all things local.
VIP AREA
Here, our VIP guests will be able to relax in a bit more fashionable comfort. Think sofas, not picnic tables; top shelf liquor, not beer from a keg; and food not available to the masses. The VIP area will also be located closest to the stage to insure the best seats in the house.
MAIN STAGE
Our main performance stage will feature live music throughout the day. Various local bands will perform, providing the musical backdrop for the event.
CHECK IN
Your basic setup for Will-Call, collecting entrance fees, and food/drink sample ticket puchases.
PIT ROW
The 60+ cooking teams will be located in the west side of the site. Here, they will be getting their grill on. On the day, guests will be able to visit with the teams and sample their competition cooking.
BEER GARDEN
Our entire event site is one giant beer garden. Guests will be able to roam freely from vendor, to team, to expo with drink in hand. We will provide a seating area for our general admission guests.
VIKING COOKING DEMO STAGE
Our cooking stage sponsored by Viking, will not only have chef cooking demos, but also full BBQ seminars. This class will feature a real pitmaster taking our guests through a start-to-finish experience in BBQ’ing. This is a great team-builder.
KID’S ZONE
We will have an area dedicated to keeping the kids busy while the adults get to relax. Some features will include games, bouncy castle, petting zoo and more.
JUDGING AREA
This stage will feature the 40+ judges that will be presiding over the competition. The competitors will have to walk our “Cowhide Runway” to deliver their entries to our judges.
BBQ EXPO
The BBQ area will be the first thing visitors walk past. The expo will feature vendors displaying everything from grills to sauces, this will be a cornucopia of “All things BBQ.”
JACK DANIEL’S WHISKEY TENT
We will be hosting an area wherein visitors can sample all types of top shelf whiskey and bourbon. Samples will be sold; there will also be a full bar on hand.
GREEN LOUNGE
An exhibit area of the green technologies that are being developed right here in Arizona.
