EGGFest 2026 | W.D. Bryant

Hosted by THE MINT
with W.D. BRYANT

Saturday, May 2nd
9AM - 6PM

W.D. Bryant Ace is partnering with The Mint to host the Third Annual Derby Day EGG Fest! It will be held at The Mint Gaming Hall in Williamsburg, Kentucky on May 2nd, from 9am to 6pm. While some cooks may opt to prepare breakfast foods, serving will begin at 11 am and run until around 4 pm. Awards will be given out around 5 pm.

EGGFests are a celebration of the Big Green Egg outdoor cooking systems, offering cooks the opportunity to show off their grilling skills and attendees the opportunity to eat great food! We'll also have live music and entertainment, a cornhole tournament, and other outdoor activities!

Derby Day EGG Fest will benefit Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. This nonprofit is dedicated to changing kids' health to change the future. The local member hospital is the Kentucky Children's Hospital at the University of Kentucky, in Lexington. Children's Miracle Network Hospitals helps to procure medical equipment, support research and treatment, contribute to patient services, and more.

The money you help us raise during EGGFest will help kids from Kentucky get the best care possible. Kids like Cate Cook of Somerset, KY, who was just four years old when her life was upended by a life-threatening diagnosis. Thanks to the hard work of staff at Kentucky Children's Hospital, supported by Children's Miracle Network, today she's alive and well! You can read her story by following the link.

PICS FROM 2025

2025 was the second Derby Day EGGFest. 32 cooking teams showed up to help us raise $15,500 for Children's Miracle Network while serving up some great eats! Check out some of last year's highlights below!

Promotional Grill Pricing

A great benefit offered at an EGGFest is the ability to purchase the grills that are used for the event at a discount. These grills will be broken-in by a skilled griller over the course of the day, then sold at a 20% discount. These grills are only available by registering and paying in full ahead of the event. These grills are sold in a package alongside a nest, convEGGtor, and bag of charcoal.

Sign up to cook!

An EGGFest is only as good as its cooks, so if you, or your team of any size, are interested in participating in the event, we'd love to have you! We'll provide you an Egg, charcoal, food, tents, and serving supplies. Please follow the link to register if you are interested!

Cornhole Tournament

We're excited to announce that we will be holding another cornhole tournament this year! Registration will start at 10 am on-site, and the tournament will begin at 11 am. There will be a $40 entry fee, all of which will go towards Children's Miracle Network. First prize will be a pair of Generac generators valued at roughly $1,000 apiece, and second prize will be determined later.
