Created by some of the best Sacramento area chefs and restaurants, these deliciously gooey creations will knock your socks off!

When you’re not licking your fingers, groove to the tunes from a live DJ, or play any of the lawn games peppered around the 7-acre expanse of the festival grounds.
On Sunday, May 15 the festival becomes a family affair. Tickets cover the price of admission, and all samples, side dishes, and drinks will be available separately at the various vendor booths.
