Sat., Aug 30 | BK Backyard Bar, Williamsburg, Brooklyn | 3 sessions: 11a, 2:45p, 6:30p | GA from $32.50, VIP $171.33 | Children under three: FREE

Not a weekday thing but we wanted to give you the heads up! For those of school age in the 90s, there’s a nostalgia-fueled day in store for you this Saturday. Head beyond Westchester for Kel’s Burger Fest, a day filled with 90s throwbacks, burgers, and of course, orange soda, and we’ve teamed up with Bucket Listers and the Festival to send a couple of our readers VIP style! Hosted by Kel Mitchell, there will be plenty of fun for all ages with games, contests, a retro video game lounge, carnival games, and a vintage flea market.

It’s heaven for burger fans with vendors such as Fat Sal’s, Bear Burger, Lacey Burger, No Good Burger Joint, vegan options, sweets from Mani Pops, and complimentary creamsicle ice pops from Good Pop. Enter the giveaway by replying to this email with the words ‘Good Burger’ and we’ll make sure you’re in the draw on Friday afternoon for 2 x VIP tickets that include a meet & greet with Kel, himself!
