The weather is warming up. Cabin fever is creeping in. Let the food festivals commence.
Last year, we missed strolling through rows of food trucks, the smell of crisp falafel, juicy wings and fresh-made donuts wafting through the air, a smorgasbord of cuisine hand-held for your convenience. Not to mention, live music and beer gardens.
Food and drink festivals are back, with capacity limits and plenty of hand sanitizer.
Here are a few upcoming festivals — plus dates for a few scheduled for fall. All are subject to cancellation or rescheduling because of the pandemic. Please double-check that the event is still happening before going.
