The Malta BBQ and Grilling Association is a registered non-profit organization established to unite barbecue lovers, grill masters, culinary enthusiasts, food educators, volunteers, and local communities under one shared passion—bringing people together through the tradition of outdoor cooking.
Our association believes that barbecue is much more than preparing food. It represents friendship, family, cultural exchange, education, creativity, teamwork, and community engagement. We are committed to preserving grilling traditions while embracing innovation, healthy cooking practices, environmental responsibility, and cultural diversity.
We organize educational workshops, cooking demonstrations, family-friendly festivals, charitable events, culinary competitions, youth engagement activities, and volunteer programs designed to make barbecue culture accessible to everyone regardless of age, experience, or background.
Our organization collaborates with local communities, schools, culinary professionals, restaurants, food producers, environmental organizations, cultural institutions, and volunteers to promote responsible outdoor cooking, food safety, sustainable practices, and lifelong learning.
By creating opportunities for knowledge sharing and community participation, we help strengthen social connections while supporting local food culture, encouraging volunteerism, and inspiring future generations to appreciate culinary traditions and responsible outdoor living.
Every activity we organize reflects our commitment to inclusion, education, sustainability, cultural appreciation, and community development.
