About this Event

Camp Lucy’s Live Fire Master Class is a three-day culinary experience set against the backdrop of the Texas Hill Country. This is not a food festival. It is an intimate, immersive gathering designed for BBQ enthusiasts, industry insiders, and anyone who believes that great barbecue is an art form worth studying.

Taking place July 27–29, 2026 at Camp Lucy in Dripping Springs, Texas, we’re bringing together some of the most respected pitmasters and chefs in the country — including names from Texas Monthly’s Top 50 Best BBQ list and award-winning culinary talent from across the great state of Texas.

Guests will participate in hands-on live fire demonstrations, meat science fundamentals, and technique-driven classes led by the headliners themselves. Premium brand partners include, Dripping Springs Vodka, Milam & Greene Whiskey, and Rosewood Ranches Texas Wagyu.
