Filled with some of Haywood County’s “juiciest, most mouthwatering burgers,” “Fat Burger Month” will run through April 6 in Waynesville, Maggie Valley and Canton. 

Presented by the Haywood County Tourism Development Authority, the celebration of these extraordinary burgers is an effort to promote an array of great restaurants right here in our backyard. This year, if you try six out of the 14 participating culinary destinations, you will earn a free “Fat Burger Month” t-shirt. For each location visited and burger consumed, you’ll receive a sticker. You must submit your completed sticker card by April 20.
