About

Bay Area Burger Week is a 12-day celebration of special menus honoring the world’s greatest Burgers.

When is Bay Area Burger Week?

The 2026 event takes place from Wednesday, October 7 through Sunday, October 18.

What exactly does it consist of?

Bay Area Burger Week celebrates the art of the burger. Each participating restaurant will offer one or more burgers at special prices—available à la carte or as part of a combo with sides. Chefs are encouraged to get creative and try something new, whether it’s debuting a brand-new burger or introducing a new twist on a customer favorite. Burgers can be beef, chicken, lamb, fish, portobello, vegetarian, vegan—or whatever else a chef dreams up.

Diners who use the official app to check in at participating restaurants can win a $1,500 Big Green Egg grill and accessory kit, provided by Outdoor Supply Hardware.
