As other reviews have noted, this festival needs (1) a better venue to reduce confusing long lines/wait times; and (2) a better food value for its entrance fee of $25. Do not expect much sample-wise. (Suggestion: entrance fee includes tickets that can be exchanged for food items from the vendors.) But you can find yummy vegan desserts, juices, etc., and entrees if you want to pay more, can find the end of the line, and can stand waiting. The chef demo we attended was great, as was its food sample. But, again, 15-20 minute wait standing for your sample at the end? Much room for improvement, festival producers. I would not recommend this festival at this time. -- Chef Mary G.
