You must be invited by a cook team or sponsor to attend. 

It’s that time again - AGC Houston’s 34th Annual BBQ Cook-Off!

We’re excited to bring the fun to a brand-new venue this year: the Fort Bend County Fairgrounds, a space well-known for hosting top-notch cook-offs. Make plans to join us for one of the most anticipated events of the year!

This is an incredible opportunity to get your company’s name in front of thousands of commercial construction industry professionals. Please note: this is not a ticketed event. Attendance is by invitation only through a cook team or sponsor. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the hottest event in Houston’s construction community!

What to Expect

Friday:
Teams go all out with creative themes and top-tier hospitality as they entertain employees and clients. Friday’s festivities are for guests 18+ only.

Saturday:
The fun continues with a more family-friendly day that includes an awesome Kids Zone. Bring the whole crew for games, entertainment, and even company picnics. Kids Zone wristbands are $10 and include unlimited cotton candy, snow cones, and access to our new Kid Zone Olympics!

If your cook team doesn’t snag a win in the cooking categories, your kids might just bring home the glory. The team with the most Kid Zone Olympic winners will walk away with the title of Kid Zone Champions.

Games include sack races, three-legged races, tug-of-war, hula hoop endurance, musical chairs, egg-and-spoon races, and more. Make sure to grab those wristbands so your kids can represent your team in style!
