EGGtoberfest 2026: A Culinary Extravaganza for Food Lovers

Big Green Egg is gearing up for one of the most anticipated food events of the fall season—EGGtoberfest. Scheduled for October 3, 2026, this lively festival will be held at Gwinnett Field in Lawrenceville, Georgia, drawing culinary enthusiasts from all over to celebrate the art of live-fire cooking.

This year marks the 29th annual EGGtoberfest, a unique gathering where the Big Green Egg community unites around fire, food, and a shared passion for outdoor cooking. Expect to see more than 300 Big Green Eggs in action—cooking a diverse menu ranging from succulent brisket to delicious brownies. Guests will be treated to unlimited tastings from talented cook teams, celebrity chefs, and even local Atlanta restaurants, making it a true gastronomic delight.

One of the exciting aspects of EGGtoberfest is the array of live cooking demonstrations, special showcases of Big Green Egg products, and exclusive event deals that attendees can look forward to. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a backyard cook, there are experiences tailored for everyone, along with family-friendly activities to enjoy. Approximately 4,500 guests are expected to gather for one of the largest community celebrations centered around live-fire cooking.

Dan Gertsacov, CEO of Big Green Egg, shared his enthusiasm about the event: "EGGtoberfest is one of those rare days where you show up as strangers and leave as friends. There’s something magical about gathering around live fire and sharing our passion for cooking. This sense of connection drives us and keeps people coming back every October."

With the current trend of digital distractions, EGGtoberfest offers a refreshing break from screens. It's a four-hour festival where cooking reigns supreme, allowing participants to focus on what truly matters: crafting amazing food and sharing those moments with others.

The festival was first held in 1998, aiming to reward Big Green Egg's loyal customers and bring together early forum users from its online community. Initially starting with just a hundred attendees and 15 cooks, EGGtoberfest has blossomed into the largest gathering of EGG enthusiasts worldwide, uniting both newcomers and experienced cooks every fall.

The festival experience goes beyond a typical food event; it combines the ambiance of a cookout, the spontaneity of a masterclass, and the warmth of a family reunion. Throughout the day, EGG professionals, chefs, and passionate home cooks will share tips, techniques, and samples, ensuring guests leave with not just full stomachs, but also new culinary insights.

A notable aspect of EGGtoberfest 2026 is its partnership with Giving Kitchen, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting food service workers in times of crisis through financial assistance and community resources. This collaboration aims to foster compassion within the food service community, highlighting the importance of support during challenging times.
