Event Details

Back by popular demand! BBQ Without Borders is No Immigrants No Spice's signature summer benefit, bringing people together to honor the powerful contributions of immigrants. This year, we’re paying tribute to the bold flavors, deep roots, and green futures we’re cultivating together, uplifting immigrant voices as leaders in climate and culture.

Get ready for an unforgettable day of delicious bites from Bay Area immigrant chefs, live performances, good vibes, and community joy.

Our 2025 chef lineup includes Anthony Salguero of Popoca, the team at Café Colucci, and Maria Marquez of Tacos Mama Cuca, with desserts from Third Culture Bakery. Featured performers will be announced soon!

We are raising funds to support our beautiful East Bay immigrant community, in partnership with The Unity Council.

This is more than a BBQ—it’s a family-friendly gathering, a space to share stories, break bread, and celebrate culture with heart, heat, and hospitality.

Cheers to Variety

Tickets include alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage options. Note: IDs will be checked at the door.
