Get fired up; Puerto Rico’s tastiest summer showdown is back. The Old Harbor BBQ Fest Competition is coming in hot on Saturday, July 19, starting at 3:00 PM, and it promises to be the ultimate celebration of craft beer, BBQ mastery, and bold island flavor.
🔥 Puerto Rico’s Premier BBQ Competition
This isn’t just a cookout, it’s Puerto Rico’s premier gastronomic event. The 2025 Old Harbor BBQ Fest brings together 15 of the island’s fiercest pitmasters, top chefs, and local restaurants. Each team is ready to throw down, smoke hard, and sizzle their way to BBQ glory.
They’ll be battling for $4,000 in prizes, but more importantly? Bragging rights as the true kings (or queens) of the grill.
From sweet and sticky ribs to smoky brisket, savory sausages to grilled island specialties, every bite is a taste of BBQ perfection. And yes, you get to try it all.
