Burger Week 2026 returns from November 12-21 with a record 18 restaurants serving 26 burgers to help raise money for Food Rescue Yellowknife.
To take part, visit participating restaurants, eat their Burger Week burger and get a stamp in your passport. (You can pick up a passport at any of the restaurants.) We’ve listed all of the restaurants and burgers below.
A portion of the proceeds from each burger will be donated to this year’s charity, Food Rescue Yellowknife.
To enter the prize draw, collect at least three stamps from three different restaurants. You get a stamp whenever you purchase a participating burger over the course of the 10-day event.
You’re welcome to submit more than one passport. For example, you can fill one passport with three stamps from three restaurants, then start a new passport to collect another three stamps and gain a second entry.
Once you collect the minimum number of stamps, drop off your passport at a participating location or at Cabin Radio’s studios (open 9am-5pm weekdays at 5007 50 Avenue, Yellowknife).
You must drop off your passport by the end of Monday, November 23 to be included in the prize draw.
