Flame Fest: Colorado's Grilling Championship
This drop already happened.
- When
- Sat, Jul 25, 2026 · 6:30 PM
- Where
- Denargo Market, Denver
- Price
- Ticketed: GA, Early Entry, and VIP tiers, all-inclusive food and drink
Flame Fest turns the judging over to the crowd: attendees taste and vote across six grilling categories while Colorado pitmasters compete for the title. Denargo Market's open-air setup in RiNo suits a smoke-and-fire event that a sit-down venue could not host.
Saturday, July 25, main event 6:30 to 9 PM with early entry at 5:45 and VIP at 5:00. Tickets run in GA, Early Entry, and VIP tiers, all built around all-inclusive food and drink, so the ticket is the meal. It is cross-listed by the RiNo Art District and VISIT Denver.
