AT&T Stadium to host the Q BBQ Fest

Dallas, Texas - In a unique celebration of meat lovers, the local community is set to experience an extraordinary culinary event as the Q BBQ Fest prepares to occupy the AT&T Stadium for the weekend of October 6th to 8th. The significant event, recognized in recent years for its impressive culinary presence, will feature an impressive assortment of 30,000 pounds of finely smoked meats such as brisket, chicken, pulled pork, and ribs.

The Q BBQ Fest, a celebrated weekend-long festival, expertly combines award-winning food with local music and a diverse range of interactive experiences. Attendees can expect enlightening BBQ lessons, captivating demonstrations, and a multitude of games and activities designed to entertain all age demographics.

Notable for its family-friendly environment, the festival's expansive influence extends to other major cities like Kansas City and Denver. These exclusive events, held at NFL stadiums, draw a distinguished group of pitmasters from across the country to showcase their smoked meat delicacies.

Though the lineup of pitmasters for the Arlington 2023 event is yet to be unveiled, the 2022 event boasted esteemed personalities like 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,” said Paul Stiff, Molson Coors Field Marketing Manager.

Co-produced with the Dallas Cowboys and Miller Lite by Eximius Productions, the event originated in St. Louis and made its Dallas debut 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 Brian Wahby, the owner and CEO. “We love smoking meat and putting smiles on people’s faces.”

For those eager to participate in this extraordinary event, a variety of ticket options are available, such as General Admission, VIP, and specially designed Kids’ tickets.
