Calling all Big Green Egg grill lovers and enthusiasts! Central Florida Fall EggFest is back and ready to serve up bite after bite of delicious grilled eats.
The 9th Annual Central Florida Fall EggFest will occur on Saturday, November 11, 2023. Big Green Egg lovers are invited to show off their skills while attendees enjoy many samples, demos with the grill, and products on sale. The event takes place at Wekiva Island from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tickets are available at centralfloridafalleggfest.com.
“It’s not surprising the Big Green Egg grill has developed such a cult following that we have events like this,” said Pete Weller, event organizer. “It is the best ceramic charcoal grill out there, and it is truly awesome to see what people can do with it.”
An EggFest is just that—a chance for those passionate about the Big Green Egg to show off their best recipes. Attendees can not only sample delicious food, but they can also learn about the product and techniques—and maybe become an Egghead themselves.
In fact, those who catch the bug can take advantage at EggFest. Travel Country Outfitters offers a limited number of significantly discounted Big Green Egg packages on the Eggs that will be used at the event.
In addition to the tasting, there will be presentations by Ron Dimpflmaier, Matt and Anna Seguin, Alex Woda (all the way from Toronto Canada,) and Mike Harding, all of whom will share tips for cooking delicious items on the Big Green Egg. There will also be music by Jason Alan.
Tickets are $30 in advance and $40 at the gate. The event benefits Keep Seminole Beautiful, which aims to keep the community clean. The event is hosted at Wekiva Island, which is dedicated to sustainability.
