--------

Patrons of the BME website and its IAM community have often gathered for [barbecues](/wiki/Barbecue "Barbecue") where they can meet with one another. Historically, the largest of these BBQs, known as BMEFest, were held in or around [Toronto](/wiki/Toronto "Toronto"), [Ontario](/wiki/Ontario "Ontario") and generally on [Canada Day](/wiki/Canada_Day "Canada Day") with hundreds of participants. The festivities of BMEFest almost always include suspensions, fireworks, grilled food both [vegan](/wiki/Veganism "Veganism") and otherwise, and there is usually a commemorative [T\-shirt](/wiki/T-shirt "T-shirt") for each event. It is generally free to attend but it is encouraged to sign up ahead of time and may be exclusive to a private group.
