2023 Halifax Burger Bash
The Lighthouse Lobster Mac & Cheese Burger from The Sou’Wester Gift Shop & Restaurant
Get your appetites ready – Halifax Burger Bash is back!
If you’re not familiar with it, Halifax Burger Bash is a city-wide burger-eating phenomenon and fundraiser for Feed Nova Scotia put on by The Coast. Creative burger offerings either have a special set price, or a higher price with the restaurant making a donation to Feed Nova Scotia from every burger sold. In 2022, Haligonians consumed a hearty 66,236 burgers, raising over $84,000 for Feed Nova Scotia – that’s 126,820 meals for Nova Scotians in need!
With that in mind, grab your passports and head out to discover your favourite burger of the 2023 Burger Bash! Don’t forget to wash it down with a cold beer or Seaport Soda from Garrison Brewing Company, the official beverage partner of the event.
