About this Event

Denver’s hottest food festival is here—and we’re bringing the sizzle.

On Saturday, October 25, Flame Fest: Colorado’s Grilling Championship takes over RiNo Art Park for one epic day dedicated to all things grilled, charred, and flame-kissed. Picture this: the best chefs, pitmasters, and grill gurus from across Colorado, each working their magic over open flames, hibachis, smokers, and sizzling griddles. From juicy burgers and tender BBQ to wood-fired veggies, flame-seared seafood, and even smoky-sweet grilled desserts—if it can be grilled, you’ll find it (and taste it) here.

Your all-inclusive ticket unlocks:

  • Unlimited bites from dozens of top chefs and grill masters competing for your vote
  • Craft beer samples, whiskey tastings, and more—all included in the price
  • Live music & entertainment to keep the energy high all day
  • Cooking demos from culinary pros sharing their grilling secrets
  • Amateur grilling competitions you’ll want to cheer for like it’s the Super Bowl of BBQ

No food tickets, no extra drink charges—just one ticket for an entire day of eating, sipping, and soaking up the smoky, mouthwatering atmosphere.

Why you can’t miss it:Flame Fest isn’t just a tasting event—it’s a full-on celebration of Colorado’s culinary firepower. It’s the one day where the state’s best chefs go head-to-head for grilling glory, and you get to be the judge.
