From the creators of the Pizza & Beer Fest comes the third edition of the Puerto Rico Burger Festival, with 30 local restaurants participating and an expected attendance of 4,000 people.
On Saturday, Feb. 22, 2025, at Plaza de la Independencia, between Hiram Bithorn and Roberto Clemente, in San Juan, the third edition of the largest burger festival in the Caribbean will take place.
In this edition of the Puerto Rico Burger Festival, 30 local restaurants will participate and compete to delight the public with their featured dishes.
The festival format is designed so the public can sample the full food offering; each exhibitor will sell a plate with 2 sliders, plus sides.
"The Burger Festival has grown significantly over the past two years. That's why we decided to move it to a larger space, with ample parking and attractions for the whole family. We are proud to offer an experience of this scale to the Puerto Rican public."
– Jaime Villamil, principal officer of Imagenda and member of the board of directors of PRICEC
Teams can win cash prizes, trips to competitions in the United States and the title of best burger team in Puerto Rico. The public will also be able to vote in the "People's Choice Award," where the five top-voted teams will be evaluated by a professional jury of well-known chefs from the Island.
Jaime Villamil, co-producer of the event, pointed out that for this edition the food offerings were expanded, the venue was moved to a larger space that includes both outdoor and indoor areas, and entertainment was added for adults and children alike, including multiple beer and cocktail bars, inflatables and games.
The exclusive VIP ticket presale will be Tuesday, Dec. 17, through Gustazos.com at 11:59 p.m. The price is $41.00 plus IVU and service fees, and includes: 2×1 admission, entry 1 hour before the event, 4 slider/burger servings, 2 commemorative cups, a hotel stay raffle and $10 in Gustazos credit.
"In the first edition, presale tickets sold out in a few hours. We encourage you to set your alarms and buy tickets on time," said José Fraceschini, of the PRICEC board.
