2022 Frisco BBQ Challenge – Best BBQ in Colorado
Join us in Frisco during Father’s Day weekend on June 17 and 18, 2022 as we welcome back two days of BBQ, music, and community.
Thursday, June 16, 2022 will be the Frisco BBQ kick off concert where beverages will be available, but there won’t be any yummy BBQ until Friday, June 17, 2022.
The 27th Annual Frisco BBQ Challenge is the best BBQ you will have in Colorado with amazing events on the side! You can enjoy free concerts, pig races, a 6k running race complete with a bacon aid station, and a charming Main Street setting surrounded by mountains and a beautiful lake.
What to Expect in 2022?
The Frisco BBQ Challenge Team heard your feedback, and in 2022, we are going back to the basics that you told us you love! The focus will be on great food and drink, quality live music, and spaces for family and friends to gather.
What Not to Expect in 2022?
Don’t expect anything that distracts from the great food, music, and community that make the Frisco BBQ Challenge legacy event that is! This means that we won’t have bouncy houses, carnival style food, mechanical bulls, whiskey tours, chef demos, or cookoffs. Our team’s attention will be on bringing this event back to the basics!
This IS your grandfather’s BBQ fest; he would love it here in Frisco!
