It’s a wrap! The Kids Food Festival was a success, welcoming families with children aged 6 months to tweens, interested in learning about better food choices in a fun and engaging environment that empowers children to make these decisions for themselves!

Appetites of all sizes were satisfied:

• Balanced Plate Scavenger Hunt: Seek, discover, taste, and win!
• James Beard Foundation Future Foodies Pavilion: ticketed hands-on cooking classes
• Kids Food Festival Main Stage: free performances including cooking demos and live entertainment
