Exceptional steak starts with exceptional chefs. We host RARE Steak Fest on a Thursday so participating restaurants can bring their chefs and teams to compete without pulling them away from their busiest weekend service. That means more restaurants, more culinary creativity, and an unforgettable experience for everyone at RARE.
Rare is a great chance to get dressed up and enjoy an evening out! Cocktail casual attire is recommended. Please note, this event is rain or shine and the majority of the festivities are on grass.
RARE happens rain or shine.
Yes! We will have Pepsi products and water clearly marked in various locations around the festival. FREE water is available in the festival, empty water bottles are permitted.
Absolutely no one under 21 years of age will be allowed in the event (this includes babies). All guests will be ID checked prior to entry. Please leave your children at home. We aren’t afraid they will drink, we just don’t want them in the vicinity of adults who are drinking.
