The story

Guam BBQ Block Party in Tumon

The Guam BBQ Block Party closes San Vitores Road in Tumon for a day of judged barbecue competition across chicken, pork, and beef categories, live local music, made-in-Guam vendors, and free admission, with a shuttle running from Ypao Beach Park for those parking further away.

San Vitores Road in Tumon's Pleasure Island district closes to traffic for one day so pitmasters can compete across chicken, pork, and beef categories for a share of several thousand dollars in prize money.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The Micronesian Chefs Association's formal judging structure, crowning category winners in chicken, pork, and beef plus an overall Ultimate Grill Master Champion with several thousand dollars in cash prizes, gives this event a sharper competitive edge than a typical street food festival, while closing San Vitores Road itself turns Guam's busiest tourist corridor into a pedestrian-only space for a single day, something few other events on the island do

02

The mystery stays covered

The event has run for well over a decade, building a loyal following among both residents and repeat visitors
