The Grill Festival will bring a two-day BBQ and fire-cooking weekend to Puerto Vallarta on November 7 and 8, 2026.
The official Puerto Vallarta tourism calendar lists the event for the Puerto Vallarta International Convention Center, with culinary competitions, live demonstrations, master workshops, signature mixology, shows and a children’s area. The destination guide describes it as a 100 percent family-friendly gathering for fans of grilling and fire cooking.
The festival’s official site confirms the November 7-8 dates in Puerto Vallarta and highlights two headline competitions: Mixólogo de Fuego 2026 on Saturday, with a 10,000-peso cash prize, and Maestro del Asador 2026 on Sunday, with prizes of 50,000, 25,000 and 15,000 pesos for the top three grill masters.
For visitors planning a food-focused trip, the weekend pairs naturally with Puerto Vallarta’s broader restaurant scene. Travelers flying in through Puerto Vallarta’s airport should confirm final schedules, ticketing and transportation details through the organizer before the event.
The 2026 edition gives the destination another culinary draw for late-year visitors, combining local hospitality with a festival format built around smoke, fire, competitions and family-friendly entertainment.
