AEW Fyter Fest is an annual professional wrestling event produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The event was established by the promotion in 2019 and is held during the summer; the first event was held in June but moved to July in 2020 and then August in 2023. Since 2020, Fyter Fest has been held as a multi-part television special. The name, slogan, and logo of the event are a parody of the fraudulent Fyre Festival.
The inaugural 2019 event was held as a special event, while the 2020 and 2021 events were held as a two-part special of AEW's weekly television program, Wednesday Night Dynamite. In 2022, the event was expanded to being broadcast as a four-part special, encompassing the two-week broadcasts of Dynamite and Friday Night Rampage. It was then reduced to a three-part event in 2023, spanning AEW's three weekly shows of the week, including Saturday Night Collision.
The inaugural event was held in co-sponsorship with Community Effort Orlando (CEO) at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. It aired for free on B/R Live in North America and on pay-per-view (PPV) internationally. The second event was planned to air on PPV from the United Kingdom, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it took place at Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida, which began the event's annual broadcast as special episodes of the company's weekly television programs.
