The Hunter’s beloved barbecue festival, Smoke in Broke will return to McNamara Park this June.
Newcastle Barbecue institution, Smokin’ Hot ’n Saucy will pass the festival organisation torch to Cardiff business, Rugged Mountain Smokers for the 2025 festival which promises to deliver the same mix of great food and awesome live music that has made it a standout event.
A long-time sponsor of the event, Rugged Mountain Smokers, expressed their gratitude to the Thraves family and their enthusiasm for ensuring the festival continues to meet its high standards.
“We’re excited to take on this responsibility and look forward to delivering the kind of experience that attendees expect and love,” Rugged Mountain Smokers said in a Facebook post.
The team is already hard at work, reaching out to past vendors and barbecue teams while encouraging new participants to express their interest. Vendor forms are being sent out, and further announcements about the barbecue competition and other festival features are expected soon.
Smoke in Broke has built a reputation as a community favourite, drawing barbecue teams, vendors, and visitors from across the region. The event celebrates all things barbecue, offering not just mouth-watering food but also live entertainment, camaraderie, and a family-friendly atmosphere.
Smoke in Broke will take over McNamara Park in June on 6 June 2025. Visit facebook.com/@smokeinbroke for up-to-date event announcements.
