The Q BBQ Fest, an emblematic weekend-long jubilee, masterfully unites award-winning cuisine with local musical talents and a rich variety of interactive engagements. Participants can look forward to insightful BBQ tutorials, engaging demonstrations, and a wide array of games and activities tailored to cater to all age groups.

While the Arlington event’s pitmaster roster for 2023 remains under the cloak of anticipation, the 2022 lineup featured illustrious names such as Mike Perez of Loro and Brandon Hurtado of Hurtado Barbecue.

“Earlier this summer, we released our very own beer-infused charcoal for backyard pitmasters across the country. Now, we’re excited to switch gears and give Dallas-Fort Worth locals a chance to try the best in barbecue from all 50 states at the Miller Lite House,” Molson Coors Field Marketing manager Paul Stiff says in a statement.

Produced in collaboration with the Dallas Cowboys and Miller Lite by Eximius Productions, the event emanates from its roots in St. Louis, and debuted in Dallas only in 2022.

“We launched Q BBQ Fest in 2015, and knew we’d build something special in the BBQ Capital of the World,” says owner/CEO Brian Wahby. ““We love smoking meat and putting smiles on people’s faces.”
