Set to take place from May 11th to May 13th, the event will shine a spotlight on local artisan producers, street food vendors, and food and drink innovators, all coming together for a weekend of delicious discovery.
The Theatres: A Foodie’s Paradise
At the heart of the festival are its vibrant theatre stages, where top local chefs, including Tommy Heaney of Heaney’s, James and Georgia Sommerin, and Carl Cleghorn, will showcase their cooking skills.
