Events in El Segundo, California

The second annual SF BBQ Festival is back…

and it's going to be better than ever. It will be the must attend food event of the year. This year will be bigger, louder, saucier, tastier and even more delicious than before.

The festival will host a fully sanctioned Kansas City Barbecue Society competition with a $10,000 prizegoing to the best pitmasters of the festival. Over 40 competition BBQ teams will grill and sauce their meat onsite while attendees get a chance to taste this competition barbecue like they've never done before.

Over 40 certified judges will be rating the competition meat consisting of chicken, ribs, pork and brisket. The barbeque will be evaluated in three different criteria: presentation, texture, and taste. Come see how well you judge the barbecue compared to the pro's.

We're not done there. This year, 15 SF Bay Area local craft breweries will be pouring their best craft beers. Come taste hand crafted SF brews while speaking to the brewmasters themselves. You won't want to miss that.

And what would a festival be without some rock & roll?! This year two local rock bands will be riffing away and showing off their chops as festival rock stars.

Think you won't have anything to do but eat and drink? Think again. This years festival will have a cornhole tournament open to everyone who thinks they have what it takes. Get a team together and try to beat some of the best cornhole tossers in the city.

Last, but not least, this year, festival attendees will get to see something that has never been done before. We're talking big, we're talking smoky, we're talking something you won't want to miss. Trust us! This will make you awestruck.
