If you love bagels and can’t get enough of them, then you might want to head to this bagel festival in November. The 2025 New York BagelFest, presented by King Arthur Baking Company, takes over Citi Field Nov. 16, featuring 25 of the world’s best bagel makers, as well as leading food brands across the globe. More than 2,000 bagel lovers are expected to come.

It’s more than just a culinary event, however; the festival promotes burgeoning bagel makers through various awards and categories. Previous winners at the festival have gone on to become national names, like PopUp Bagels, rapidly expanding across the country, and Starship Bagels, the first bagel shop recognized as a James Beard “Outstanding Bakery” finalist.
In addition to established award categories, this year sees new categories like Best Sourdough Bagel and Best Montreal Style.

What’s in it for you as an attendee? For starters, you get unlimited bagel tastings. You can also experience the World Bagel Rolling Championship; workshops; panels; and the debut of BagelFest Growth Lab, an incubator for emerging bagel makers to gain mentorship and industry visibility.
Tickets are on sale now. A general admission ticket gets you three hours to explore and sample more than 50 top bagel, spread, and specialty food and beverage vendors around the world. An all-access pass lets you stay for the whole day and receive other perks. And for the ultimate bagel fan, the Everything Bagel Bundle ticket comes with exclusive merch, tours and more.
