Here we go again, folks! Feast is back, this year for it's fifth anniversary, and looks to be better than ever. COMIN' IN HOT! Get ready, it starts next week!
You can check out my posts from last year to get a sense of what Feast is like (before, kick-off, after!), but I can easily sum it up in one sentence: YUMAZING. Okay, that was one (made-up) word... but seriously, I was blown away last year by the incredible food presented by creative chefs and brands with awesome products I was happy to try and learn about! I'm looking forward to this year (and even taking a day off of work — COMMITMENT!).
If you haven't picked up any tickets yet, hurry!! Most of the main events are sold out, but there are some tickets left for the Grand Tasting on Friday, as well as Drink Tanks on Friday and Saturday. I'll be at Grand Tasting on Friday, so come join the fun! You can check the schedule and buy tickets HERE!
In case you forgot why we Feast: "Feast Portland is proud to support charities working to end childhood hunger in Oregon and across the country. Since its inception in 2012, Feast has donated more than $230,000 to charity. Feast Portland’s sole charitable partner in 2016 is Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon." - Feast
If you can't make it to any events, you can absolutely participate from afar by donating!
If you already have tickets, let me know what events you'll be going to! I'll be at Night Market, Grand Tasting, and as many after-parties as I can manage (HIGHLY encouraged to RSVP "yes" to as many as you get, newbies!!).
I'll have more FEASTY PREVIEWS next week! XO

"Yumazing"?!!!!! Is brilliant. I will use that in the future (no blog, no social media- I am a luddite) in just my life.
And of course I will look forward to all of your glorious food photos and info.
Enjoy!!!!
