The Urban BBQ Festival is back - bigger, smokier and juicier than ever.

Join us on Saturday 22nd November 2025 at Waikoko Gardens, Tomoana Showgrounds for a full day of barbeque, live music and good old-fashioned summer fun.

Sink your teeth into slow-cooked barbecue from the region’s best pitmasters, grab free tasting samples, and watch live demonstration sessions where the pros show you how it’s done.

There’ll be plenty of tasty bevvies, cracking tunes and festival vibes to keep you going all day.

Fancy yourself a bit of a legend? Test your mettle at Beat The Bar with The Rock Roadies - step up, smash the bar and win spot prizes.

The festival is family-friendly, so bring the kids, grab a feed and make a day of it with mates.
