PRESS RELEASE: The Beef Starts Here: Macon Burger Week Returns November 7–15, 2025

MACON, Ga. (November 6, 2025) — The wait is over, burger lovers! The juiciest week of the year is back as Macon Burger Week returns November 7–15, 2025, bringing nine delicious days of beef, creativity, and community.

Presented by the Georgia Beef Board and Visit Macon, this year’s event features 24 local restaurants each serving up a one-of-a-kind burger creation — all for just $12. From smoky Southern classics to globally inspired flavor fusions, it’s a full-on celebration of Macon’s culinary imagination and beef craftsmanship.

“Macon Burger Week is more than just a food event,” said Carly King, Marketing Manager at Visit Macon. “It’s a chance to explore the city’s incredible restaurant scene, support local businesses, and experience the creativity that makes Macon’s food culture so special.”

“Georgia Beef Board reached out to renew Visit Macon’s partnership with the beloved event after some of their own organizational changes. After explaining that Macon’s event is the longest-running burger week of its kind – and helped to kick off expansion across Georgia, as well as with other Beef Boards in states across the country – how could we say no! The beef starts here!”
