OUR EXPERIENCE: We loved this event from start to finish. The volunteers, staff, and attendees were friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. The city was bustling with excitement and the food was new, flavorful, and delicious. We enjoyed some of the best bites we’ve ever had here. The Sandwich Invitational, the Grand Tastes, Night Market, and Brunch Village are easily in the top of food festivals we’ve attended. We plan on attending next year and hope to see you there too!
