Keppel Dagwood Dog Eating Competition – Webby Vs the World WHEN: 12pm to 2pm, Sunday 16 August Ekka’s legendary Keppel Dagwood Dog Eating Competition returns with a special 150th year twist in 2026. Officially sanctioned by Competitive Eating Australia, the competition will have a new format for Ekka’s milestone year, with each competitor given five minutes to eat as many full-sized Keppel Dagwood Dogs as possible. The new format creates the opportunity to set a brand-new Ekka record for the 150th year, while also allowing a true comparison between what reigning champion J Webby Can Eat can achieve against the rest of the field. J Webby Can Eat, the reigning Ekka Professional Division champion and one of Australia’s most recognised competitive eaters holds one of the event’s standout records after eating 20 Dagwood Dogs in just 4 minutes and 15 seconds in 2023. Fresh from another major win in the USA, Webby will return to the Ekka as the man to beat. Webby vs the World
gives everyday competitors and professional eaters five minutes to step up and see just how close they can get to Webby and his record.
