Smokin' Barrel Fest

Smokin' Barrel Fest brings the unmistakable spirit of burnt barrel to Chapman Valley, transforming the heart of the Midwest into a smoky, flavour-packed celebration of barbecue and live music. This is not just a competition; it is a gathering where the region's top pitmasters and backyard legends fire up their best, all under the watchful eye of Kansas City Barbecue Society judges. The stakes are high, with a generous prize pool waiting for those who can impress with perfectly smoked meats and bold flavours. As the pits blaze, the festival comes alive with the sounds of local bands and the energy of bustling market stalls. Every moment is infused with the warmth and hospitality that defines Western Australian barbecue culture. From the first sizzle to the last song, guests are invited to savour slow-cooked classics, discover new favourites, and soak up the unique atmosphere that only a burnt barrel can create. Supported by tourism WA's regional events scheme, Smokin' Barrel Fest is the ultimate destination for anyone who loves great food, good company and unforgettable music. Chapman Valley is set to host a weekend where fire, flavour and fun take centre stage, promising memories and mouthfuls that linger long after the smoke has cleared.
