The region’s biggest local food festival is almost here.
The annual FEAST! Local Foods Marketplace will be held on Saturday, November 4 from 10 am – 4pm at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester.
Tim Penny, President and CEO Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF), whose 20-county region includes Goodhue, Wabasha, Winona, and Olmsted Counties, says local food lovers attend FEAST! filled with sampling, shopping, cooking demos, kids activities, live music (including Q Media's Greg Taylor) and giveaways.
Penny says the event hosts around 100 regional food and beverage businesses from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa each year, most utilize locally-grown ingredients to make artisan products.
