International Food & Wine
This festival is special because it features an array of dishes and drinks from different countries, all in one park. Some of this year’s featured countries include Argentina, South Africa, New Zealand, and more. Try unique dishes such as Bunny Chow, a South African curry stew in a bread bowl, and Ceviche, white fish with a fruity marinade from Chile. Also experience classics from the USA stand, such as Lobster Rolls and Crab Cakes. And be sure to taste the desserts such as the fan-favorite Mango Flan from Argentina! For a full list of vendors, visit the website here.
Along with the delicious foods, those who are 21+ can enjoy the flavors of alcohol brought by each country. Each stand brings a selection of beer, wine, and ciders to try. If you are a major foodie, we recommend looking into the festival lanyards, available in 10 or 15 dish options! You’ll save 40% on the 10 sampler and 50% on the 15 sampler, allowing you to have plenty of dishes of your choice!
