HAMBURG, Pa. -

The streets of Hamburg were filled with many different scents of hamburgers Saturday.

The free admission festival features the meat in all its glory.

There are plenty of different stands selling burgers, and tons of activities centered around hamburgers.

Some included an eating contest, mooing contest and the people's choice award for best burger.

This is the seventh year for the event, and organizers say it grows every year.

"There's not very many hamburger festivals and a lot of people like their hamburgers and they get to try many different kinds when they come to this festival, and the free entertainment, you can't beat it, said organizer Deena Kershner.

Organizers tell us folks traveled from New York and Virginia to get a taste of this afternoon's festival.
