El Reno will again celebrate holding the record for the world’s largest onion burger at the 36th Annual Fried Onion Burger Day Festival on May 4.

The day-long affair runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and continues a tradition that brings an estimated 25,000 people downtown.

The event is free and open to the public.

Although grilling and eating an 850-pound onion burger is the festival’s main draw, there will be lots to see in the six-block area.

The Burger Day Festival is a tribute to the fried onion hamburger, cooked daily in El Reno since the early 1900s.

It’s the burger that has helped make the community a destination for food lovers and those trekking along historic Route 66.

It’s not uncommon to hear languages such as French or German being spoken in El Reno’s three main “burger joints,” Johnnie’s, Robert’s or Sid’s.
