City of Yuma hosts 2026 Yuma BBQ and Brew Festival
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Locals across Yuma County attended the City of Yuma's 2026 Yuma BBQ and Brew Festival Saturday.
The festival, which took place from noon to 9 p.m. in Downtown Yuma, had over 35 BBQ vendors and 25 PBS-sanctioned BBQ pitmasters who came to Yuma from all over the U.S. to compete for who has the best barbecue.
The event had many community dances, a DJ, plenty of goodies for attendees to buy, and a band performing on the Main Stage.
"It's very important for the community to come and support our local vendors, and come in and enjoy everything that's free because what family doesn't enjoy things for free," said Brissa Garcia, Special Events Coordinator for the City of Yuma.
Local vendors also competed for the Best Local Barbecues, where the winner would receive $1,000.
