New York natives will attend with enterprises such as Utopia Bagels, Ess-a-Bagel, Bagel Market, Bagizza, Bagel Joint, and Black Seed Bagels.
BagelFest founder, Sam Silverman, stated: “With the World Cup of soccer over, it’s time to turn our sights towards the bagel world’s equivalent: the New York BagelFest, […] This was the most competitive process in our history, with less than 9% of applicants selected to compete. And with BagelFest West 2026 champions entering the fray, the stage is set for the fiercest battle and most deserving champions we’ve ever seen.”
Throughout the event competitions will take place, with a panel of expert judges there to crown winners across multiple categories, such as Best Bagel, Schmear of the Year, Most Creative, Best Showmnaship, and Best Bialy. Fans will also cast votes for People’s Choice, Best of Boroughs, Best Beyond the Boroughs, Best International, and Best Bialy.
