Did you know that the average American eats a hamburger three times a week? Wow! In fact, they’re so popular that there is even a “Hamburger Hall of Fame” in Seymour, Wisconsin, just 15 miles west from Green Bay. Let’s check it out!

Each year the small farming town of Seymour, Wicsonsin is home to “The Burger Fest” which is a volunteer-run estival celebrating this iconic American meal. The event was founded in 1989 to celebrate the birth of the burger in Seymour Wisconsin in 1885. This year’s event takes place August 12th and 13th, and its parade theme is “Burgers of the Future.” What can you expect at Burgerfest 2022? Well, there’s the World’s Largest Hamburger Parade, a Burger Eating Contest, the Giant Ketchup Slide, a Car Show, and so much more!

Check out this video from the 2021 Burger Fest Television spot from NBC 26:

It might sound cheesy but we think that driving up to Burger Fest 2022 sounds like a really good road trip idea, but if you disagree that’s alright, we don’t want to start any beef with you! Perhaps you’d prefer to keep your burger noshing local instead! Not a worry, we’ve selected our picks for best local spots for a hamburger or cheeseburger.
