What is an Eggfest??

An Eggfest is a gathering of Big Green Egg fans and enthusiasts where many experienced Egg cooks showcase their skills and talents. And its the perfect place for those that are interested in owning a Big Green Egg to sample the amazing food coming off the Eggs and learn all the different cooking possibilities and techniques used. It's a lot of fun, and usually feels like a big party.

Schedule of Events:

After-party in Manassas, Saturday at 6:30pm at Comfort Suites Inn.

The after-party is informal, though it has become a tradition at most Eggfests. Bring some food to cook on one of the available Eggs, and bring your own beverages. The hotel is graciously allowing us to use the space behind the building, so we need to be considerate and all alcohol is to be in plastic cups.
