Things are heating up in the city of Boulder, and it’s not just the University of Colorado’s football team. Eximius Productions will be hosting its two-day Q BBQ Festival at the legendary Folsom Field – which includes all-you-can-eat-and-drink packages, live music, giveaways and activities for the whole family.
This is Eximius Productions’ first event in which they’ve partnered with a collegiate athletic team. They have previous partnerships with NFL teams such as the Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos. Brian Wahby, the founder of Eximius Productions, stated, “This event provides an avenue which we have been looking to explore and brings our unique BBQ experience to a whole new group of friends.”

David Hawthorne and Eric Hansen of Not Just Q in Dallas; and Tim Scheer from Blues Hog BBQ in Missouri are among the many other pit masters of which festival goers will be able to explore.
