Registration to cook on EGGs: Each registration requires a $50 refundable deposit for (1) demo EGG to cook on for (2) EGGhead cooks.   We realize that registration for EGGtoberfest happens well before the event itself and that, in-between early August and October 12th, well… life happens. People’s schedules change and sadly, they aren’t able to cook at EGGtoberfest after all. Should that happen to you please contact our ticketing partner, Big Ticket, before September 25th for a full refund of your deposit. In doing so, you will have made a fellow EGGhead that takes your spot very happy!

No unloading will be permitted before 8:30am on Saturday. All vehicles must be out of the event area by no later than 10:00am. Due to Stone Mountain Park safety regulations, no vehicles will be allowed into the cooking area until 5:00pm. Cooks are requested to stay at the event until 3:00pm. Assistance will be available for loading and exiting the venue after 3:00pm

Generators are not permitted. No vending please.

There will be a special check-in location for cooks on Friday at the Meet and Greet from 5:30 – 7:30 pm and on Saturday morning from 8:00am to 10:00 am to allow for cook spot assignments — please look for the EGGhead Cooks Registration signs when entering the event areas.

As in previous years, our generous EGGtoberfest Cooks provide food and cook a variety of dishes for our guests to enjoy.

Two (2) people may register to cook on one (1) EGG. Cooks will check in at a special registration area; please look for signs when you arrive. Registered Cooks may select their EGGtoberfest cooking space location during the Meet and Greet event on Friday night or on-site Saturday morning.

No unloading will be permitted before 8:30am on Saturday. All vehicles must be out of the event area by no later than 10:00 am. Due to Stone Mountain Park safety regulations, no vehicles will be allowed into the cooking area until 5:00 pm. Cooks are requested to stay at the event until 3:00 pm.

Assistance will be available for loading and exiting the venue after 3:00 pm on a first come, first served basis.

PLEASE NOTE: There are limited Cooks’ Tickets available so due to high demand we ask that if you are registered and cannot make the event please contact us as early as possible so that your Cooks’ Ticket can be reassigned. Each cooking space will contain one EGG, a table and two chairs. If you want to bring a tent, please note that only 10×10 or smaller tents will be permitted.

Generators and vending of any kind are not permitted.

Please do not move EGGs, tables or chairs into another space; all EGGs will be reserved for registered cooks on Saturday.

As in the past, Big Green Egg reserves the right to group single cooks together to allow for more cooks to enjoy the experience.

COOKS’ INFORMATION: If you are planning on consuming alcoholic beverages, Marriott policy requires that over 21 wristbands be issued. A photo ID will be required for all guests requesting an over 21 wristband for all EGGtoberfest events.

Your EGGtoberfest Cooks’ Ticket must be presented for free entrance to Stone Mountain Park on October 12. For free entrance, you must enter from the main gate off Hwy 78; if you already have an Annual Stone Mountain pass, you can enter through any gate and proceed to the EGGtoberfest venues.

COOKS: Don’t forget to collect votes for the People’s Choice Favorite EGGhead Cook Team Award. Votes must be turned in at the Cooks’ deposit refund tent no later than 2:30pm. The People’s Choice Award will be announced on the music stage at 3:00pm.
