| - I'm really, really torn. This should have been a 5 star event. Instead, it's more like 2.5 stars.
Let's talk about the pluses first.
I got 50% off discount tickets several weeks before the event, so I wasn't unhappy when vendors ran out of food.
The food offered was INCREDIBLE. Some of the stars: HUMMUS XPRESS, Ike's Love and Sandwiches, Positively Frosted.
There were cooking demos, good bands, great weather, and amazing smells.
Now, on to the bad.
The price to get in without a discount is $25. No biggie, right? Wrong. Almost none of the vendors were offering samples. What? Not cool people! Some of them were, but the majority were not.
The venue was insanely crowded. Beyond comfort, and there was no way to figure out who was in line where.
Several vendors ran out of food before 2pm.
Most vendors had run out food by 3 pm.
No where near enough trash cans.
Move the festival somewhere MUCH larger (at least double), and if the vendors aren't ALL going to offer samples, sorry, but I won't pay $25 to go ahead and pay for food I haven't tried first, in a place so crowded that people are snapping at each other.
