Burger Fest returns to Athens for its 12th edition, turning the city’s Old O.S.Y. Bus Depot in Gazi into a hub for burgers, live music and entertainment on September 18-20 and 25-27, 2026.
The festival will feature 11 burger houses, each creating a signature burger exclusively for the event. Participating spots include Gordo Eats, Jackaroo, The Smashers, Comet, Manito, Stack Athens, Pax Burgers, F@Smashing, Big Mama, Μπαρ Μπεε Κιου and ΟΦSΕΤ Smoker.
Burger fans will also get to vote for their favorite creation in the festival’s Best Burger Award, which recognizes the top burger of the year.
Music will play a central role across the two three-day weekends, with 12 live performances spanning a range of acts. The lineup includes Nefeli Fasouli and Billie Kark on September 18; Tonis Sfinos and Tony Bluebird on September 19; Eisvoleas and AEON on September 20; Panos Vlachos and Dalkance on September 25; INCO and Turboflow3000 on September 26; and Wedding Singers and Oytekan on September 27.
This year’s theme is “BURGERMAXXING,” a playful take on the social media trend of “looksmaxxing,” with the festival inviting visitors to focus instead on burgers, live music and festival vibes.
Alongside the food and concerts, the event will feature games, cold beer and a dedicated kids’ area with activities for younger visitors.
The festival will take place at the Old O.S.Y. Bus Depot, 1 Ermou and Piraeus, Gazi. It will run from 6 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and from 1 p.m. to midnight on Saturdays and Sundays.
General admission costs €7 for standing tickets. Seated tickets cost €8 and are available during designated time slots. All tickets include one beer or soft drink. A 1+1 Happy Hour promotion will be available for visitors entering between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
