As one of the official Big Green Egg Festivals held around the country, Eggs on the Beach will be a delicious afternoon for the entire family, featuring a cooking competition, “People’s Choice Awards”, “Judges Awards”, tastings, live music, children’s activities and more.

“Eggs on the Beach keeps getting better with each passing year and we’re working to make the fifth annual event the best ever. Last year, we had fun new elements including the addition of a Knob Creek Category and all the teams brought their A+ game,” said Eggs on the Beach Co-Founder Susan Kiley. “This year, we’re going to add a backyard category and we’re working on some fun new elements along with a great new group of celebrity judges. Anyone who enjoys cooking on the Big Green Egg should enter a team.”

Cook team registration is now open. Cook Teams create bite size portions of their favorite recipes to be judged by the public as well as a celebrity judge. Each team of up to six is given a large or extra-large Big Green Egg to use during the competition. Bay Breeze Patio provides the lump charcoal, fire starter, table, tent, paper plates, plastic utensils, napkins and toothpicks. Tasters vote for their favorites, as teams vie for bragging rights and prizes, including the grand prize, a brand new large Big Green Egg.

“EggHeads, master grillers, backyard grillers, and everyone in between is encouraged to join the fun and register a cook team,” said Paul. “Our goal is host the most fun, cook-friendly and taster-friendly cooking competition in the region while giving back to our local community.”

All proceeds from Eggs on the Beach will benefit two local charities. The Fisher House of the Emerald Coast, located on Eglin Air Force Base, provides a "home away from home" for military families so the family can be together during treatment for serious illness or physical/occupational therapy, and Food For Thought serves students in Okaloosa and Walton County with healthy meals. In addition, tickets may be purchased for a chance to win a Big Green Egg and other items donated by area businesses with these proceeds also benefiting the charity partners.

For those who are interested in owning a Big Green Egg, demo Eggs, which will be used during the event, will be sold in advance with nest (metal stand) and plate setter for a discounted price. Both large and XLarge Eggs will be sold and all come with a limited lifetime warranty. Demo Eggs must be picked up after the event, between 4 – 5 p.m. on September 29.

Cook team registration is $50 for a team of six and each team member will receive a welcome bag, including a commemorative t-shirt and Wayne's Get Grillin' Rubs. Cook team fees are waived for non-profit cook teams, which are competing for a cash donation toward their cause.

Taster tickets are also on sale now with special advance pricing of $32.50/adult, $14/child (age 11-17) and kids 10 and under are free. Sponsorships are also available. To learn more or to register a cook team or purchase a taster ticket, visit www.EggsontheBeach.com or call 850-269-4666.
