Fun Freetime - New York BagelFest (11/15)

The dough is rising, and so is demand for New York BagelFest, Presented by King Arthur Baking Company. The ultimate celebration of bagel culture returns to Citi Field on Sunday, November 15, 2026, bringing together more than 25 acclaimed bagel makers, culinary personalities, industry leaders and thousands of hungry fans for a day of unlimited tastings, friendly-but-fierce competition, conversation and entertainment.

 

"The global bagel industry is growing at a rapidly accelerating rate. The 7th Annual New York BagelFest will be the most magical one yet - quite literally, with a magician and mentalist joining this year's entertainment lineup - for our foodies, industry professionals, and competitors," says BagelFest founder Sam Silverman.

 

Bagel lovers don’t want to miss a bite. Early Bird tickets sold out in just three hours, and one-third of all available tickets were sold within the first 24 hours. Tickets are now on sale, as anticipation builds for one of the festival’s most ambitious editions yet. This fall, New York BagelFest will welcome bagel shops representing ten states and five countries, with bakers traveling from Ireland, Spain, Canada and India to compete alongside legendary New York institutions and leading bagel makers from across the United States. Getting a spot at BagelFest is no schmear feat. Fewer than 9% of applicants were selected to compete in 2026, following a highly curated selection process evaluating bakeries on quality, originality, reputation and the passionate communities they’ve built.
