It's the Best of American Food, and best of all you can enjoy it without getting on a plane.
For serious beer and wine lovers, the festival will include Tasting Areas in the Stadium Club that will boast an offering of the finest
American wines and beers.
Wine expert and New York Times best-selling author Gary Vaynerchuk, of Wine Library TV fame will also be on hand to
share his knowledge with novices and connoisseurs alike.
And of course music from the likes of Buckwheat Zydeco, Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes and Texas singer/songwriter
Bob Schneider.
Many people email us asking if Food is included in the admission price. Tickets entitle you to all the music/chef shows and demonstrations, however, food is
available at an additional cost. We have 20 notable restaurants from around the country participating, and food items are available
for $3-15, with most items in the $5-8 range. Alcohol and soft drinks will be sold throughout the venue, however, with a Grand Tasting ticket
you will gain entrance to the Grand Tasting area where we will
feature premium wines and beers with free 2oz pours. See our FAQ section
for more answers to frequently asked questions.

- Campaigned for an American Interstate Highway System for those cars thus ushering in the evolution of diners, truck stops, roadside cafés, and even modern fast-food chains,
which lead to all Americans being able to enjoy food from all over the country.
- It's these Classic All American Foods...hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, fried chicken, barbeque, ice cream, chocolate, etc, that food historians describe as "Democratic".
Simply put, Americans love comfort food!
- That's why our event is called The Great American Food & Music Fest. It has three parts...
- Taste of America – Every city, region, and community has a local "Taste Of". What if you could bring the "Best-of-the-Best from around the country to one place?
- Celebrity Chefs – Most of the food and wine events across America where celebrity chefs appear, there is usually a high priced ticket attached. What if there wasn't?
- The feel of a New Orleans-type Jazz Fest – More than a music festival, it encompasses the food you eat, the fun you have with friends and family, and of course the music. What if we created that experience outside of New Orleans? Well, we have.
- Celebrity Chefs, great music, and the best of All American food from around the country…all in one place for one low price!
