Doors open: 5:30p-9:00p CST

The all-in Whole Enchilada pass is your way in to the entire experience. It’s the Whole Enchilada, y’all! The $349 price includes all music, bites, and beverages (21+ only for adult beverages) at Giddy Up on Friday and House Party on Saturday, as well as access to live music shows both days. 

Giddy Up - A live fire feast at Franklin Barbecue on Friday, 10/16. Inspired by backyard gatherings, Giddy Up puts chefs front and center. Sample unique bites and sips for an event that sets the tone for the best tasting weekend of the year.

House Party - Located at Assembly Hall on Saturday, 10/17, this is the largest culinary event of the weekend. Dozens of dishes, one lively indoor-outdoor party: chefs from across the country serving their most creative plates while the drinks stay cold and the music stays loud.

Live Music - It’s not Hot Luck without music. Stay tuned for more information coming soon about music events happening throughout the weekend.

Kiddo passes can only be purchased with an add-on with an Adult pass. The add-on can be made on the second screen.
