New York BagelFest, presented by King Arthur Baking Company, has just announced that they will close their exhibitor applications on June 26. Due to an increased demand for exhibitor space, the BagelFest organizers ask applicants to register before the deadline.
The New York BagelFest is scheduled for November 15, 2026, and it is mainly dedicated to artisans and bagel business owners, giving them a chance to grow and gain exposure as enterprises, but also to bagel enthusiasts. The festival hosts competitions as well, such as “Best Bagel” and “Schmear of the Year”, along with immersive hands-on classes and panel discussions.
Behind the BagelFest project is Sam Silverman, who founded the festival in 2017, starting in New York City. The event now also takes place in Los Angeles and is being held every year.
