Most teams will be vending BBQ throughout the weekend to the General Public. Many of these teams are friends and family doing it for fun (so be patient), and some are professional catering operations. Some teams may only be vending one of the two days. For the best opportunity to take advantage of all the BBQ, it is strongly recommended to arrive early. Depending on demand, some of the teams run out of BBQ as the day goes on.
11AM – 7PM
Doors close: 5:30PM
11AM – 5PM
Doors close: 3:30PM
