Kel Mitchell, accompanied by Bucket Listers, sets to host "Kel's Burger Fest" in Brooklyn during the summer months.
Get ready for a fun-filled day as actor Kel Mitchell hosts Kel's Burger Fest, a burger-centric food festival that promises more than just delicious food. The event takes place at BK Backyard Bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (151 Banker St.) on Saturday, August 30, 2025.
This festival is not just a food event, but also includes a dose of 90's nostalgia with activities such as a retro video game lounge, carnival games, a vintage flea market, trivia, a 90's dance battle, an orange soda fountain, and an orange soda chugging contest, all accompanied by DJs playing 90's hits.
The festival is divided into three sessions across the day:
- Session 1: 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
- Session 2: 2:45 p.m. – 5:45 p.m.
- Session 3: 6:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m
All ages are welcome, though children 3 and older require tickets.

- General Admission Tier 1 ($30) — includes entry only
