Austin Monthly's Burger Bash 2026

One of the most anticipated events of the year, Austin Monthly’s fourth annual Burger Bash gives food lovers an opportunity to chow down on the city’s most beloved burgers, from smashed and smoked to seasoned and wood-fired.

This event brings you the best of everything under the bun on June 13 from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park. Each ticket purchase comes with the opportunity to try 25 burgers (if you can handle that!) as well as french fries, sweet treats, and non-alcoholic drinks. There will also be live music, shopping, photo booths, game zones, and more. Drinks will be available for purchase at the event.

For the ultimate burger fanatic, we are doing a VIP experience! These tickets include an early entry of one hour at 11:30 a.m. to try your faves with no lines, plus your very own Burger Bash T-shirt with our beloved burger Chonk on the front, as well as an ice-cold Modelo.
