This was my first time at this festival and I had a great time! Checking in was a breeze as well as parking. The parking lot is huge and free! There were many vendors to get samples from everywhere you turned and it was organized well! I'm glad I was able to get introduced to some new restaurants and many tables offered company merch and coupons which was a plus! It wasn't overcrowded and I didn't have to wait in any long lines for samples. My only complaint is that I wish they included some type of tray to hold your samples. It was very hard carrying around those little trays of food. Other than that I had a good time and will be better prepared next year! read more
