Description:
Warm Hearth Village presents the annual Cheeseburger in Parrot-dise event this year titled "Living on Island Time" on Saturday, August 15, 2026 at the Warm Hearth Village Center.

This year, Cheeseburger in Parrot-Dise returns with a fresh outdoor island festival feel as we embrace Living on Island Time. Guests can look forward to the crowd-favorite fresh margaritas and local Best Burger in the Burgs competition, and new traditions throughout the evening that bring even more flavor and fun to this beloved, 13-year summer tradition.

New features this year include Wybe’s Island Shop for souvenirs and Big Lick Ice Cream along with additional island-inspired experiences, live entertainment from The Panjammers, and surprises woven throughout the festival grounds. All proceeds benefit programs for seniors at Warm Hearth Village, a nonprofit community with a 50-year history in Blacksburg.

This year’s Cheeseburger Throwdown contenders are:
• The Huckleberry Café
• Lost in Taste Sports Bar
• The Happy Hog
• The Hatch
• 3 Brothers BBQ

Guests can choose their favorite burger and help crown this year’s Cheeseburger Throwdown champion!
