About BBQ Mapper

BBQ Mapper is a national directory of BBQ competitions, steak and chili cook-offs, and festivals.

A calendar for the cook-off community

We bring event dates, locations and official links together so competitors, judges and spectators can find their next stop.

How listings are sourced

Listings come from sanctioning-body calendars, official event websites and community submissions. Each event series has one permanent page, with separate editions for each year.

How we verify information

The Last verified date shows when an event’s information was checked. New listings, corrections and ownership claims are reviewed before publication. Dates and details can change: always confirm with the organizer before travelling or entering.
