food festivals
Outdoor eating events
Food festivals are public events celebrating cuisine, typically featuring food vendors, cooking demonstrations, and tastings centered on a theme—a particular ingredient, dish, cuisine, or harvest season.
They range from local street fairs to major destination events: We hit three food festivals this summer.
The atmosphere combines eating with entertainment, drawing crowds who sample dishes they might not otherwise try.
