Big news for Canadian storytelling and for the Kootenays. 🎬🍔
CBC has unveiled a new slate of original programming, including Burger Month (2027, 4×60, Cream Productions), a documentary series set to film in Nelson this fall.
Centered around Nelson’s wildly competitive annual burger competition, the series captures the passion, pressure, creativity, and community behind one of the most unique culinary events in the country. With nearly 50 locally owned restaurants competing for burger supremacy, Burger Month shines a spotlight on the people, personalities, and small-town stakes that make this event so compelling.
With a local Nelson team at the heart of the show, Director Jeremy Grant with story producers Carlo Alcos and Carla Sinclair are excited to share the series is slated to air in 2027.
This is exactly the kind of production that highlights the incredible storytelling potential of our region while creating meaningful economic and creative opportunities for local crews, businesses, artists, and hospitality workers.
Congratulations to everyone involved. We cannot wait to welcome this production to Nelson and see the Kootenays represented on screens across the country.
