About this event

The Leadville BBQ Trail brings great BBQ, great people, and great energy to 10,152 feet while getting visitors out exploring our town and supporting local businesses. Born from our community’s determination to bounce back from the impacts of the Willow Wildfire, we’re turning a challenging year into an opportunity to come together, raise money for local nonprofits, and create something worth celebrating.

The 2026 BBQ Trail is just the beginning. We’re firing up the smokers, rebuilding a Leadville tradition, and laying the groundwork for the return of the Leadville BBQ & Brews Festival in 2027.

Come hungry. Bring your friends. Follow the smoke. Support Leadville.
