Boss Hog’s BBQ Archives - Passion for Pork

Porkapalooza BBQ Festival is back for another Father’s Day Weekend in Edmonton. From 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, June 15 to Sunday, June 16, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., the Edmonton Expo Centre will play host to the annual event, showcasing the culture of BBQ. Cheer on your favourite competitors and enjoy that great BBQ smell as teams from western Canada compete for over $16,000 in prizes.

At its heart, it is a BBQ competition, but it encompasses all the components of a festival: good BBQ eatin’, a beer garden, the Taste Alberta food demonstration stage, a Kids’ Zone and plenty of entertainment.

The festival is free for anyone to attend and includes plenty of activities for families and food lovers to enjoy. Guests are invited to check out guided tours of the competition area, cooking demonstrations from professional chefs at our food stage and a play area and craft station in our Kids’ Zone.

Do you have a dad who loves to grill? Pack up the family and head down to Porkapalooza for taste of BBQ. Stay for a bite of fall-off-the-bone pork ribs or a bite from this year’s line up of food vendors including:
