Discounted Tickets to the Family Reunion

August 5, 2025–The countdown is on, barbecue lovers. If you’ve been dreaming about an evening filled with legendary Texas ‘cue, live music, and the warmth of the barbecue community, now’s your moment to make it happen. The TM BBQ Family Reunion is coming to EpicCentral in Grand Prairie, Texas, on September 27, and there’s still time to secure your spot—but the clock is ticking on our early bird special.

Limited Time: Save $20 with Early Bird Pricing

We’re making this incredible evening even more accessible with $20 off your ticket when you use code EARLYBIRD at checkout. But here’s the catch: this offer expires on August 8. That’s right—you have just days left to take advantage of this discount and join what promises to be one of the most memorable barbecue gatherings of the year.

An Evening Unlike Any Other

Join us for an intimate gathering under the Texas stars, where the state’s most celebrated pitmasters come together like the family they truly are. The TM BBQ Family Reunion isn’t just another food festival—it’s a homecoming for Texas’s barbecue legends and the fans who love them. You’ll have the chance to sample mouth-watering barbecue from eight of the state’s most acclaimed joints, including:

  • Hurtado Barbecue
  • Feges BBQ
  • Blood Bros. BBQ
  • And five more legendary establishments

But the feast is just the beginning. As the evening unfolds, you’ll find yourself two-stepping under the starlit Texas sky, surrounded by fellow barbecue enthusiasts, pitmasters, and the authentic spirit that makes Texas barbecue culture so special.

More Than Just Great Food

Texas’s barbecue community operates like an extended family, and like many big families, members can go years without crossing paths. The TM BBQ Family Reunion bridges those gaps, creating a space where legends, newcomers, and devoted fans can share stories, swap techniques, and celebrate the craft that brings them all together. This isn’t just about the food—though the food will be extraordinary. It’s about community, tradition, and the bonds that form over slow-smoked meats and shared passion.

Choose Your Experience

General Admission ($100): Full access to all the barbecue, music, and festivities that make this event special.

VIP Experience ($150): Everything included in general admission, plus a commemorative gift and access to an exclusive VIP lounge where you can mingle with fellow barbecue aficionados in a more intimate setting.

Your Ticket Supports a Great Cause

When you purchase your ticket, you’re not just treating yourself to an unforgettable evening—you’re also supporting Feeding Texas, the state’s food bank network. A portion of every ticket sold goes directly to help fight hunger across Texas, making your night out an investment in your community.

Time is Running Out

Tickets went on sale July 15, and interest has been building steadily. With the early bird deadline of August 8 approaching fast, now is the time to act. Don’t let this opportunity slip away—mark your calendar, grab your friends, and prepare for an evening that celebrates everything that makes Texas barbecue culture extraordinary.
