Whether you’re a burger purist or a plant-based foodie, this is your chance to explore Halifax’s best burgers, support local restaurants, and enjoy everything this amazing city has to offer.

Why Locals Love Halifax Burger Week

This isn’t just a food festival — it’s a celebration of community, creativity, and local flavour. Each year, Burger Week shines a spotlight on small businesses, with participating restaurants offering custom burger creations at a set price, with a portion of proceeds supporting Feed Nova Scotia.

When you grab a burger, you’re not just treating yourself — you’re giving back and helping Halifax thrive.

🔥 Top Reasons to Get Out and Enjoy Burger Week 2025

1. Support Local Halifax Restaurants

From Quinpool to North End to downtown Dartmouth, more than 100 local spots are getting in on the action. Hit up your neighbourhood faves or discover new gems in other parts of the city.

  • Local tip: Try a burger from a spot you've never visited before — this is the perfect excuse to branch out.

2. Experience Epic Burger Creations

This is not your average cheeseburger. We're talking lobster-topped patties, spicy Korean BBQ-style buns, vegan magic, and more. There’s something for every taste and every budget.

3. Make It a Day Out

Pair your burger run with local adventures:

  • Walk it off on the Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk
