Who’s Comin’ to the Cookout?
In addition to unforgettable performances from award-winning music artists, residents and travelers alike can explore over a dozen authentic BBQ joints from some of the country’s most popular pitmasters who will travel to Temple for a rare weekend pop-up to cook up different BBQ cuisine from across the country, specifically Texas, Kansas City, Memphis, and Carolina styles.
To offer attendees of all ages a taste of the good life found in Central Texas, organizers hope to create a lasting cultural celebration each fall that evokes a sense of pride amongst residents and ultimately boosts the local economy with out-of-town visitors spending their dollars locally.
Stay tuned as more festival details surrounding this year’s event will be announced in the coming weeks, including the BBQ and daily music performance lineups.
