Sources: 92. Developments: 21. The burger‑centric celebrations that began with World/International Burger Day in late May continued through June with festivals in Xuvia, Alcázar de San Juan, Mallorca, El Escorial and Illescas, and with World Cup‑linked promos such as Valeria Meats’ match‑day pack. In early July Valencia’s Mestalla stadium hosted the Champions Burger festival, a “California Dreaming” themed competition that ran without music and used a civic‑traffic‑light discount system. Extending the season, the Canary Islands held Burger Fest Canarias in La Laguna from 23 to 26 July. The free four‑day event featured more than 25 local restaurants, a vegan and 100 % gluten‑free zone, a sweets corner, craft and imported beers, DJ sets and live music. A traditional burger competition awarded €1,000 to the winner, €300 for second place, €150 for third and a €150 public‑choice prize, with sponsorship from the Ayuntamiento de La Laguna, the Gobierno de Canarias and the Canary Islands Trade Office. The festival moved to La Orotava on 7–8 August, again free‑entry, highlighting kilometre‑zero ingredients and a blind‑tasting contest with €500, €300 and €150 prizes plus a public‑vote award. The winning stall qualified for the 2027 regional final in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Organisers, including Mayor Francisco Linares, emphasized the event’s role in boosting the local economy and promoting Canary Island products. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-29: Burger Fest Canarias draws
