Now that the burn has fully subsided from our Hot and Spicy Festival last month, we ride the success of that inaugural outing and move back to familiar ground with the announcement of our sixth Burger Festival! This year's event will take place in what has become our home turf: Galaxy Soho on the weekend of Jun 16-17.
Last year's event attracted close to 20,000 hungry fans of all things burger (proven by half the vendors selling out on the first day) and this year we hope to outdo ourselves once again with our best festival in honor of the humble combination of meat and buns yet.
With over a month to go, we've already completely sold out of booths, which means there are already 40 burger vendors and 20 drinks vendors working away to bring you the best of their meaty and thirst-quenching products. There'll also be ice cream, juice, and other refreshments to keep you feasting to your heart's content.
Whereas 2017 was a celebration of burgers and the Wild West, 2018's Beijing Burger Fest is all about rock 'n' roll. Expect high-energy performances and music and enough grub and drinks to keep you pogoing throughout the weekend. Those will include the finest line-up of Beijing's rock and blues bands, a selection of rock bands from the city's international schools, a rock 'n' roll karaoke contest (start practicing that growl now), and a kids area so that the young'uns don't miss out on all the devil-horned fun.
In keeping with that theme, our suggested dress code is dress like your favorite rockstar! Avril Lavigne? Sure. Elvis Presley? Uh-huh! Kurt Cobain? Definitely. Michael Jackson? Oo-hoo! There are also pinup girls, rockabilly, metalheads – the options are literally endless.
Early bird tickets will be on sale later this month and will come with a bonus freebie, as always. For now, to get you salivating at the thought of this year's Burger Fest, feast your eyes on some of the choice cuts from last year:
