Before the festival, a burger speed-eating contest is being held to select participants. During the festival, the 12 fastest contestants will compete in semi-finals and finals for the title of "Latvia’s Fastest Burger Eater". Organizers invite everyone to take part in the selection rounds, which take place on weekdays from 14:00 to 17:00 at Stabu Street 30, outside festival participant “Meaet Daddy”.
Those who want to show off their outstanding burger recipe can enter a competition by following the organizer’s rules and using the special potato burger bun.

The festival features a full program for the whole family, including kids' activities. “It started as a one-day event. Today, it’s a two-day annual family festival, attracting over 10,000 visitors,” says festival organizer Edgars Svencis.

As every year, the festival includes a festive concert featuring local musicians – this year, Žoržs Siksna will perform. In previous years, artists such as Bad Habit, Pētersons, Keksi, Ufo, Mārtiņš Balodis, and others have taken the stage.

Throughout both days, the festival area will host shows, music from Latvia’s top DJs, audience contests, and of course, delicious burgers from all over Latvia.
