Brisbane Burger Fest Is Bringing Its Burgs, Beers and Live Tunes Back to The Triffid This Winter
Of course this burger-loving city has a festival dedicated to fillings sandwiched in crusty buns — and it'll feature fest-exclusive burgs, too.
Ever had a hankering for a burger, but couldn't decide which joint to visit? Thanks to Brisbane's hefty array of burg-slinging places, we've all been there — and often. Thankfully, The Triffid came up with a solution a few years back. That'd be the Brisbane Burger Fest, which is returning again in 2023 to the delight of the entire city's tastebuds.
From 11am on Saturday, June 24, the Newstead music venue is once again serving up the River City food event that we had to have. Plenty of culinary festivals have come and gone over the years, but Brisbane Burger Fest was always going to be back for another helping — behaviour that you'll likely copy on the day.
Ze Pickle
Wondering about the festival's burger credentials? Ze Pickle, Fritzenberger, Brooklyn Depot, Hashtag Burgers & Waffles and Remy's will all whip up their usual favourites. Embracing the occasion in the tastiest way possible, they'll be making a few special and exclusive Burger Fest creations as well. There'll also be an official burger-eating competition as part of the festivities (of course there will be), which pits regular burger-lovers up against the pros.
If you don't think you can handle taking part in the contest, that's okay — everyone at Burger Fest will be seeing how many burgs they can eat in their own way, after all. And, attendees can look forward to plenty more to keep you entertained beyond eating burgers, including a beer pong tournament.
Brooklyn Depot
Making a burger party even better, the event will be showcasing live music from Melaleuca, Radium Dolls, The Dandys, Lucid Safari, Pipin and Bean Magazine, as well as Echo Wave, Fleur Fatale, Demi Casha and Huxley & Friel.
Drinks-wise, Stone & Wood and Heaps Normal will be taking care of the beers — boozy and not-so — and Burger Festival cocktails are also on the menu, including a Bundy dark and stormy.
Tickets cost $15 — and if past years are any guide, they're expected to get snapped up quickly.
Brisbane Burger Fest 2023 takes place from 11am on Saturday, June 24 at The Triffid, 7-9 Stratton Street, Newstead. For more information and tickets, visit the event's website.
