4th Annual Long Beach BBQ Festival

Step into the heart of Long Beach and experience the 4th Annual Long Beach BBQ Festival, hosted by Axiom Kitchen in collaboration with NoahS’s Arc Foundation. Join us Memorial Day Weekend for two unforgettable days of world class barbecue, live music, live fire cooking, craft beverages, and community celebration along the beautiful waterfront at Rainbow Lagoon.
This year’s festival is especially meaningful as we celebrate the 4 year anniversary of Axiom Kitchen, the barbecue company behind the festival. What began as small pop ups fueled by passion has grown into a nationally recognized brand known for bold flavors, live fire cooking, and unforgettable food experiences. We are proud to celebrate this milestone by bringing together some of the best pitmasters, chefs, and live fire cooks in the region.
Guests will enjoy incredible barbecue from top pitmasters representing the diverse and evolving BBQ scene across Southern California and beyond. From traditional slow smoked favorites to innovative live fire techniques, the festival highlights the craft, culture, and creativity that make barbecue one of the most exciting culinary experiences today.
🔥 Live Fire Experience presented by Titus Smokers and Chef Jennifer Lowry will showcase the art of cooking with fire in its purest form. Titus Smokers will present Long Beach’s first whole steer cook on a custom fabricated cross rig built specifically for the festival, creating a truly rare and unforgettable visual and culinary experience.
