Save the Date for 2026

Thursday, October 8, 2026
5pm-8pm
Tri-State Fairgrounds - 3301 SE 10th

Tickets will go on sale in August 2026 through the Tri-State Fairgrounds website or their office at 3301 SE 10th. All-Inclusive Tickets are $35 in advance thru 10/7
and will be $45 online the day of the event and at the gate.

*Children 6 and under are free with a paid adult. However, we remind you that the Chamber Barbecue Cook-Off is a business networking event with large crowds, alcohol, smoke, and hot cookers, therefore it isn't necessarily a kid-friendly environment. Please exercise caution when bringing children to this event for their safety. We discourage strollers and wagons due to the size of the crowd and being a trip hazard, but if you do bring a stroller or wagon, it must have a child in it and not just be used for carrying items.

Please no ziplocks and to-go containers. Food is meant to be enjoyed at this event and taking large amounts of food outside of the event gates is not allowed.

NO LARGE BAGS OR BACKPACKS. CLEAR BAGS ARE BEST, AND ALL BAGS ARE SUBJECT TO SEARCH.
