Steve Harvey’s Open Fire Food Festival Returns to Abu Dhabi

The Open Fire Food Festival is back in Abu Dhabi this November, with Steve Harvey once again leading the charge. Following last year’s success, the American TV host will return to Etihad Park for two days of flame-grilled feasts and smoky flavours on 8 and 9 November.

Visitors can expect an impressive line-up of live-fire cooking, with world-class pitmasters showcasing their skills and serving up everything from slow-cooked brisket to sizzling steaks. Interactive masterclasses and live demonstrations will give food lovers the chance to learn from some of the best in the industry.

The festival’s signature Open Fire Backyards will return as immersive spaces where guests can enjoy food, music and social spaces built around the art of open-fire cooking. It is an experience designed as much for the senses as for the plate, combining culinary performance with a relaxed outdoor atmosphere.

Last year’s edition welcomed over 12,000 visitors across two days, establishing the event as one of the region’s leading celebrations of open-fire cuisine. With live music, celebrity chef appearances and plenty of dishes to savour, the festival promises another memorable weekend for BBQ fans and casual foodies alike.
