There’s something for everyone to enjoy!
The BBQ Brunch Add-On is a special experience available only on Sunday (5/4) starting at 11:30 AM, which features all-you-can-eat BBQ from select pitmasters, plus a bottomless mimosa and Bloody Mary bar. It’s a great way to sample a variety of BBQ before the festival gates officially open.
A single-day or 3-day ticket covers admission to the festival grounds, where you can purchase menu staples from all pitmasters in attendance. If you’re just looking to enjoy BBQ throughout the weekend, a regular ticket is all you need. But if you want the exclusive brunch experience on Sunday, you’ll need to purchase the BBQ Brunch ticket in addition to your 3-Day or Sunday Ticket.
Sort of! Lone Star Smokeout is the first-ever expansion of the Smokeout festival concept, brought to you by the same behind Windy City Smokeout in Chicago.
Similar to Windy City Smokeout, the Lone Star Smokeout will offer a boutique and highly hospitable festival experience featuring food for purchase from 14+ of the nation’s best BBQ teams and live music performances from 19+ of today’s hottest country music artists!
Unlike Windy City Smokeout, the event will be three days only (Friday, May 2 to Sunday, May 4, 2025) and will feature different lineups for both music and BBQ teams – minus a few overlapping fan-favorites.
