Fork Fest brings some of the best local eateries together to compete in a friendly fork-off competition to win your vote. Vendors prepare one delectable forkful of culinary excellence that they think will impress guests and win them the top prize! The cuisine genre is entirely open-ended to create a competitive nature among vendors and to inspire originality and quality. The event also features tons of adult beverages to make sure that you don’t leave hungry or thirsty!



Your job?


It’s super easy:

    •    Just show up grab a fork and get to tasting. 


    •    You’re free to roam at your leisure and enjoyment while you taste each fork and get to know the vendors. 


    •    We'll have a few breweries and other spirits there pouring adult beverages for you to enjoy as you jam out to music curated by We  the Beat and munch your delicious forkfuls. 


    •    Once you’ve made your rounds, feel free to stop by the voting booth to give a nod to your favorite. (If you don’t want to vote in this  election don’t sweat it, it’s really only about you having a good time).
