Before you head out, take a moment to review these essential tips to make the most of your visit!
____________
Where to Park
There’s no need to stress about parking—complimentary event parking is available in the Bear and Elk lots. From there, free shuttles will run frequently to and from the village throughout the weekend. Learn more about Beaver Creek parking options here, or in "transit" section of the BC Village App.
Cheers to Good Brews & Spirits!
This year’s beverage experience includes a robust lineup of local breweries, plus the debut of our LALO Tequila Cocktail Patio—with fragrant and elegant tequila cocktails to pair with your BBQ feast. From full-size pours to curated brews tastings, there are plenty of ways to sip all weekend long.
While you're welcome to raise a glass, outside alcohol is strictly prohibited. All bags will be subject to search. The festival features a wide selection of beverage options for guests 21 and older. To make the most of your tasting experience, purchase a beer punch card or individual tickets at the Ticketing Tent.
Bring on the BBQ
Judge local chefs as they go head-to-head in our BBQ Competition, serving up beef and bison creations for the chance to win big—and yes, you can help decide the winner with the People’s Choice vote. Hungry for more? Swing by the Demo Stage to see BBQ pros share their favorite techniques and flavors. Learn more about the BBQ Competition & Demo Stage, here.
