Riverland Burger Festival

Overview

One of life's simple pleasures is getting a day to shine: the simple pleasure of meat between two slices of bread. Or salad. Or mushroom. Or a veggie patty. When it comes to burgers, there's plenty of options.

On Saturday, October 13 from 10am, five street kitchens will be taking over Riverland for the day, serving up nine different types of burgers. And sure, you can enjoy a burger at many places around town any day of the week — but there's nothing like sitting at a riverside bar, sipping beverages with a view and taking your pick of burgs during a dedicated Burger Festival.

Wing Fix, Carolina Kitchen, I Heart Calamari, Locked & Loaded Fries and Salt, Pepper & Cumin will be doing the cooking, while 4 Pines is setting up a pop-up bar to pump out its latest IPA. There'll also be live music and a DJ, and entry is free. Bring your wallet for the burgs and booze, obviously.
