Northern California’s biggest fresh food festival will take place later this year and it’s shaping up to be bigger and better than ever. Boasting the title of “Farm-To-Fork Capital”, Sacramento is the perfect place to celebrate the farmers and other individuals that make it possible to enjoy fresh food and beverages at our own table. This popular event typically lures up to 100,000 visitors to the state’s capital and it’s a must-see event for foodies everywhere. It’s never too early to start preparing for this popular festival, especially once you read about everything that this year’s event entails.
The official dates and other information regarding the 2020 Farm-to-Fork Street Festival was recently announced, and it has us extremely hyped for this awesome event. This year, the festival will boast expanded hours and even more farm-fresh fun, and you don't want to miss any of it.
The 2020 Farm-to-Fork Festival will take place September 10 through September 19 in the heart of Sacramento. This beloved street festival typically brings out thousands of visitors and like a fine wine, it just seems to get better with age!
The first Farm-to-Fork event took place in 2013, just one year after Sacramento was named "America's Farm-to-Fork Capital." Let's just say that Sac Town takes this title VERY seriously. The multi-day festival features endless food sampling, vendor exhibits, beer and wine tastings, and plenty of live entertainment.
This year's street festival portion of the event promises to be the best one yet. It will feature expanded hours on Saturday evening this year, a two-day concert series, and more than a mile of local food, regional wines, and cooking demonstrations to check out. And yes, it's still completely free to attend.
The Legends of Wine event will return to the festival on September 10. This is a favorite among wine enthusiasts since it boasts unlimited pours from regional wineries, along with delicious food from area restaurants. It's simply one of the best wine tasting experiences that NorCal has to offer, and that's saying a lot.
Another treasured festival event is the famous Tower Bridge Dinner. Although public tickets to this event are scarce, the dinner itself is one of the most unique experiences in the state. Every year, hundreds gather on the iconic Sacramento bridge for the dinner of a lifetime, prepared by some of the world's top chefs.
Considering that farm-to-fork culture is a pretty big deal in Sacramento, it only makes sense that the biggest fresh-food festival in the country takes place here. Whether you're a diehard foodie or you just love a good street festival, you'll want to be sure to mark your calendars for this epic extravaganza. Learn more about it here.
