The festival will be held on Sunday, Nov. 15, bringing together more than 25 bagel makers, culinary personalities and industry leaders for a day of tastings, competitions, entertainment and family programming.
This year’s festival will feature bagel shops from 10 states and five countries, with bakers traveling from Ireland, Spain, Canada and India to compete alongside New York institutions and bagel makers from across the United States. Organizers said fewer than 9% of applicants were selected to compete this year.
