2023 CoVa Battle of the Burgers

The 2023 CoVa Battle of the Burgers is going to be a juicy one! We can’t wait to welcome you all back to the Military Aviation Museum with some of the best restaurants in the region. Sample up to 10 burger sliders from the participating restaurants, wash ’em down with refreshing local brews, enjoy live music from Pleading the 5th Band, shop from a variety of specialty vendors at our brand new Arts & Craft Vendor Village and more.

This year we are offering a tasting and non-tasting ticket, so pick which is best for you and your crew. Plus, skip the lines by purchasing a beer ticket in advance with your online tickets. Outside chairs, umbrellas, small tents, food and water are welcome. Absolutely no outside alcohol, coolers, pets or anyone under 21 are permitted.

Tickets are on sale now!

In honor of May being Mental Health Awareness Month, all net proceeds donations will benefit NAMI Coastal Virginia (National Alliance of Mental Health)
