Description
Get Your Burger—and Your Business—in Front of the Crowd
Bud & Burgers in the Bay
Saturday, November 14, 2026 | 11 a.m.–3 p.m.
Historic Bay St. Louis Depot
For $100, your team gets a place in the competition—and Froogel’s provides the beef. Bring your crew, your fixings and your best recipe for an afternoon of tasting, competition and exposure for your restaurant, business or backyard crew.
This year, we’re partnering with the Krewe of Nereids’ Annual Mermaids Arts & Crafts Show, bringing your team into the middle of an established festival filled with shoppers and potential customers. It’s an opportunity to introduce people to your food, connect with the community and earn recognition that lasts beyond the event.
Sponsored by Silver Slipper Casino Hotel, Froogel’s and Mitchell Distributing, the competition offers first-place prizes for:
- Best Restaurant Burger
- Best Backyard Burger
- Best Mermaid Theme Burger
- People’s Choice
Invite your customers, friends and supporters to taste and vote. People’s Choice voting is $1 per vote, with proceeds benefiting the Hancock County Food Pantry.
There’s plenty to keep visitors at the Depot: arts and crafts, a German Beer Garden open November 14–15 from 10 a.m.–5 p.m., mimosas, Bloody Marys and a Jumbotron showing your favorite sports teams.
Want more visibility? Sponsorships from $250–$1,000 offer additional promotional benefits for your business.
We’re accepting just 15 teams. Register today by clicking on Register on this page to secure your place.
