EGGtoberfest is an annual event held the third weekend in October in Atlanta. It originated in 1998 as a way for Big Green Egg to say "Thank You" to loyal customers that regularly logged on to the Forum to chat and share recipes and experiences and found themselves becoming fast friends. Many were eager to meet their online "family" and EGGtoberfest provided the opportunity to get together, cook their favorite recipes on the EGG® for everyone to sample, and swap stories about life experiences - good and bad. The first year about 100 Big Green Egg pioneers attended the cookout, which was held at the American Legion Hall in Atlanta, with 15 cooks firing up an EGG. The meet, greet and eat event turned into the First Annual EGGtoberfest which was considered a big success.

In 2005 the Eighth Annual EGGtoberfest, which had grown to a fun-filled weekend celebration, moved to the new Big Green Egg World Headquarters in Tucker, Georgia. The 100 attendees that turned out for the first event has grown exponentially and now more than 200 EGGs, provided by the Company, are fired up by new and experienced Eggheads to feed the enthusiastic crowd of about 1400 people. Spectacular fare can range from moose kabobs (the result of a successful Maine hunt) and a roasted whole fresh Alaskan salmon (caught, brought and cooked by an Alaska EGG owner) to exotic breakfast dishes, peach cobblers, grilled pineapple, rum soaked apple cake, smoked turkey necks, barbecued meatloaf and many versions of the more traditional pulled pork, fallin'-off-the-bone ribs, spicy sausages, juicy beef brisket, crispy pizza and most any other food that you can imagine.

This festive annual family-oriented event also provides a good opportunity for someone thinking about buying an EGG to learn all about it and see firsthand the versatility of the intriguing ceramic cooker and hear about their experiences from current owners. The EGGs that are cooked on are sold afterwards at handsome discounts, thus a number of lucky purchasers can take one home at day's end.

The tremendous enthusiasm generated by EGGtoberfest has resulted in establishment of a number of regional EGGfests usually patterned after the Atlanta event. Check out our Events Calendar to see if there is an EGGfest taking place near you and if so take advantage of the opportunity to attend.
