What’s FIREFEST?
Upcoming Events
It’s a COMPETITION
You know the guy or gal who talks a big game.
Now’s your chance to show who has the substance and the character to win.
FIREFEST gives everyone the opportunity to demonstrate their culinary prowess.
Choose your protein:
Chicken wings
Chicken fajitas
Burgers
Brats
Hog dogs
Feeling confident, eh? Excellent.
Our Grand Champion will bask in the glory of a Jack Daniel’s barrelhead and a new grill.
It’s a MEAL
The problem with most BBQ competitions is that while teams smoke up some finger-lickin’ good grub, attendees are usually left out.
We’re turning the tables.
At FIREFEST, the attendees are in charge, empowered with the power to vote for their favorites. Select from chicken, beef, and pork samples. Hear the lore of the recipes. Then deposit your wooden coins with your selected teams.
It’s a culinary feast!
It’s a PARTY
We salute service members and their families with a tasty THANK YOU!
We want you to enjoy great food and drinks with friends; listen to great sounds; smell the aromas of slow-cooked BBQ; and know that your country appreciates all that you do.
Did I mention that we have tons of prizes and giveaways?
