WESTFIELD – The annual Food Fest sponsored by the Rotary Club of Westfield will return to Elm Street for a fifth year on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 23 and 24, bringing music, food and entertainment downtown.
The event will begin on Friday at 5 p.m. and continue until 10 p.m. On Saturday it will start at noon and close at 9 p.m.
The Food Fest will feature non-stop entertainment with local bands performing on two stages. New activities this year include a climbing wall provided by the Boy Scout Council of Western Massachusetts and there will be games at the south end of Elm Street after 3 p.m. on Saturday, including “Cornhole.” The classic car show will return this year from noon until 3 p.m. on Saturday.
Food for the fest will be provided by returning vendors including Janik’s Pierogi’s, Alo Saigon, Skyline Trading Company, Puks Grill, Moe’s Donuts, Bottega Cucina Tia Food, Angelo’s Fried Dough, Tatter Tots, Moolicious Ice Cream, Pandolfi Kettle Corn, The Boys and Girls Club of Westfield, The Boy Scouts, The Westfield Kiwanis Club, Little George’s and the North Elm Butcher Block.
Other vendors will offer a variety of non-food items.
The Rotary Club will offer beer and malt beverages from two beverage wagons. This year, the club will stage a complimentary wine tasting on both nights, 6 – 9 p.m., adjacent to the south stage.
The 2018 Food Fest brought about 10,000 participants to the city’s downtown for the free event and organizers hope to exceed that number this year. The event would not be possible without the support of the city’s administration and the club’s organizers would like to recognize and thank the workers from the several city departments whose unsung efforts contribute greatly to the success of the Food Fest.
