Registration for EGGtoberfest will be $40 per person or $55 per couple, and there is no charge for children under 18. The registration fee will be waived for those attendees who are cooking (for everyone's enjoyment) their own specialties — which they provide at their own expense.

Registration for the Saturday event will be closed October 1st or when we reach 1500 attendees. Walk-up registration will not be allowed on the day of the event.
