What do you need to know about the Open Fire Food Festival by Steve Harvey?
No stranger to the Middle East, Steve Harvey brought his love for authentic barbecue and live-fire cooking to Abu Dhabi last year with the debut.
The festival reintroduced American-style BBQ culture to the region, with Yas Island serving as the stage upon which the party unfolds. The best part? Children under 12 enter for free, making this a weekend of fun and flavours for the entire family!
At the heart of the festival are the Open Fire Backyards, where food meets theatre. Experience live-fire cooking sessions, BBQ competitions, and panels with global grill masters. From the smoke and sizzle to the stories behind the dishes, it’s an immersive experience aimed at food lovers of all levels.
There’s more to the festival than just the meats and greets, of course. Enjoy two days of live music, interactive workshops, and plenty of family entertainment perfect for all ages.
