Join us for Hot Grill Summer

Published on 29 January 2025

Hot Grill Summer is a sizzling food festival that brings burgers to life in all shapes and forms, making the endless summer even more deliciously fun!

Anna Terwiel, Venues and Events major events team leader, invites everyone to “join us for a bun-derful time filled with great food, fun, and the vibrant spirit of summer!”

Her team has invited local eateries to create a burger masterpiece, and she’s heard some are "grilling up some truly a-bun-dant creations!”

“It's an opportunity for the community to ketchup, relish in the plethora of food, and have a bun-derful time! From classic cheeseburgers to gourmet delights, there's something for every food lover to savour.”

“Lettuce celebrate burgers in all their glory and make this a summer to remember!”

Anna said the judges will have the exciting role of selecting the inaugural winner of this year's competition. The winner will receive “ultimate bragging rights, as well as a certificate to display so all those in the land know who has the top burger in town.”

She and the team are also keen to see burger lovers cast their votes for the People's Choice Award.

Voting (and eating) opens on Saturday 1 February 2025 and wraps up on Saturday 1 March 2025. The recipients of both awards will be announced on Monday 3 March 2025.
