The event happens at the top of every hour. When active, the event will pop up for all players to see. Since it is a public event, it is free to fast travel to. If you want to see Grahm, or you’d like to take a wander around the area outside the event, thenhead to Vault 76. Once there, just head a little southwest,Grahm will have his little cookout setup in between Organ Cave South and the Moonshiner’s Shack.
Players should note that despite being part of an hourly event, Grahm is still available for trade. So feel free to head up to him and see what he has to offer.
