Q BBQ Fest Kansas City kicks off at Arrowhead Stadium on Friday

The Kansas City Chiefs will welcome Q BBQ Fest Kansas City to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Friday, June 23 and Saturday, June 24.

This is the third consecutive year that Arrowhead Events has welcomed the family-friendly festival to the home of the Chiefs. This year, the celebration of barbecue is fully ticketed and not a competition-style event. Each ticket for admission will include all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink passes.

Here’s all the information on ticketing:

General admission pit passes are good for a three-hour session and will offer attendees access to food from all pitmaster stations and beverages, including beer and ready-to-drink offerings.

VIP pit passes will offer an extra hour of exclusive festival access prior to general gates opening and include elevated bar offerings, as well as a self-guided tour of the Chiefs Locker Room, the Bud Light Locker Room Club and the Chiefs postgame press conference room.

Here’s a schedule of the sessions this weekend:

  • Session 1 – Friday, June 23: General Admission 6 – 9 p.m. (VIP: 5 – 9 p.m.)
  • Session 2 – Saturday, June 24: General Admission Noon – 3 p.m. (VIP: 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.)
  • Session 3 – Saturday, June 24: General Admission 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. (VIP: 4 – 8 p.m.)

Several of the most prominent area pitmasters and BBQ joints will be featured including Meat Mitch (Mitch Benjamin), Joe’s Kansas City (Jeff and Joy Stehney), Arthur Bryant’s (Chris Stuewe), Buck Tui BBQ (Teddy Liberda), Scott’s Kitchen and Catering (Scott Umscheid) and more. There is also a VIP-only lineup featuring Texas Original (Joey Machado), Honeysuckle White (Patrick Humphrey), SMOAK Craft Barbeque+ (Cade Colson) and Jousting Pigs (John Atwell).

You can purchase tickets and find more information on the menu at www.kcbbqfest.com.
