Foodlink’s Festival of Food is tonight!

Annual fundraiser celebrating its 20th anniversary

ROCHESTER, NY – The region’s most delicious festival is here!

Foodlink’s Festival of Food, celebrating a milestone year, will be held tonight at the City of Rochester Public Market. For 20 years, the festival has featured dozens of local food and beverage vendors in the Rochester and Finger Lakes region – from restaurants, to wineries, to breweries, to bakeries and more. The event serves as a major fundraiser for Foodlink, our regional food bank, during a time when food insecurity has risen sharply.

The Festival of Food runs from 6 to 8:30 p.m. – with VIP guests gaining early access to the event at 5 p.m. Tickets for the event officially sold out last week.

In addition to the all-you-can-eat experience for guests, the festival will feature live music from BB Dang, raffles, and special 20th anniversary merchandise. Foodlink collaborated with local artist, Dellarious, for a special design featured on festival bags, shirts and posters.
