SOLD OUT ALREADY?? 21st Annual EGGtoberfest General Admission-Stone Mountain Park

That was fast. You would think they would make the event bigger if it sells out so fast? I obtained my tickets, but I know there's going to be some upset people who missed out. 

Is there any "Egg fest" as big (or as popular) as the one at Stone Mountain? I'd like to start traveling to a few of them.

    I will mark my calendar for the Hiawassee one for next year. Any idea when tickets go on sale? Are they super high in demand or can I purchase at gate?

    They sell out as well, just not as fast. I believe they are released for purchase around January 1st at midnight.

    Eggtoberfest at Stone Mountain is the largest one. 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    If you really want to go just make sure you keep checking in here.  Every year people end up dumping tickets on here that they bought and can’t use.

    Cooks tickets sell out in minutes. If you just want to attend and taste, no worries.

    Yes. The food is far better too. Quality and creativity always suffer when you’re slinging food for a couple thousand people.

    @frazzdaddy Butt Blast is a great way to meet a lot of forum regulars. The forum is a lot better when you know the folks in real life.

    ButtBlast is the fun one.........probably a good idea to look back at the pictures to prepare yourself for the shenanigans.

    It’s basically a real life version of the forum on a Friday night sans politics. Everyone is having too good a time to ruin it with political yip yap.

    Another event to put on your calendar if you're up for a flight, Brisket Camp in NOLA in October (usually). Though the host has not made an official confirmation of the event this year, I have it on fairly good authority from an unnamed source that it is on.

    Just because I'm bored, I'm going to post some pics from the past Brisket Camps.
    @hapster Scrapple, egg, cheese sammiches:


    @SGH Unit something or other with protein:

    @SGH Head cheese. There was a secret ingredient. You'll have to go read about BB III to find it.

    @FleurdeLirious whipped up an awesome chacuterie plate, just because I mentioned I might like that.
