Pensacola EggFest moves locations
PENSACOLA, Fla. (Sept. 24, 2024) – After 11 years at Wahoos Stadium, Pensacola EggFest is moving its barbeque foodie event to the Hadji Temple on 9 Mile Road on Nov. 10. Organizers say they will be able to give even more to their charities, have room to grow and that the open space will make event logistics simpler, particularly for cook teams.
“We had a great run at Wahoos Stadium and are very grateful for our time there — it’s where we built the event,” said co-founder Jerold Hall. “The bottom line is that by moving the event we can give significantly more to our charities, and our cook teams will find it much easier to set up their stations.”
This year, cook teams will be able to drive their cooking equipment directly to their assigned location and set up, greatly reducing set up time and effort. Anyone can form a cook team, and can register their group here.
Co-founder Lisa Lyter said the decision to move venues was difficult, but giving more to their charities sealed the deal.
“This means we can give more to those local organizations who fight systemic hunger, childhood cancer and support our law enforcement to name a few,” said Lyter. “That’s what this event has always been about — it our mission — good food for a good cause.”
Since its inception, Pensacola EggFest has raised more than $780,000 to support local charities like childhood cancer and systemic hunger and has served tens of thousands of meals to those in need. Charities have included Rally Pensacola, Manna Food Pantry, Studer Community Institute, Last Mile 5K, NWF Guardian Ad Litem, PACE Center for Girls and Escambia County Sheriff's Office Blazer Academy. The event has hosted celebrity Judges like Chef Big Moe Cason, American Sniper movie’s Kevin Lacz and Sean of the South.
