Well-known chef and television host Guy Fieri has announced
that he’ll be celebrating his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, next summer with the
debut of the Flavortown Fest.
Set for June 1-2, 2024, the “food and funk” festival will be
held at The Lawn at CAS, near the Ohio State University campus. The event will
feature food, live music, vendors, and demonstrations.
“Flavortown Fest will offer the ultimate experience for
foodies and fun-loving Fieri fans,” according to organizers. “Guests will
experience a once-in-a-lifetime menu that screams flavor, set to the backdrop
of epic live performances on the main music stage. Flavortown Fest is bound to
surprise you at every turn just when you think you’ve seen it all.”
“[The festival will be] two full days of awesome music, the
best chefs, real deal food from around the nation and a whole lotta fun that
you’re gonna have to see to believe. This festival will truly be the first of
its kind and I couldn’t be more stoked to bring it to my original hometown,”
said Fieri.
The new festival will give a portion of proceeds from ticket
sales to charities in the central Ohio region. The Guy Fieri Foundation focuses
on programs that help veterans, first responders, literacy efforts, and
culinary education.
While musical acts have not yet been announced, tickets can
be purchased now at flavortownfest.com.
Prices range from $155 to $215 for the two-day event, with VIP tickets and
pricing said to be coming soon.
