Feast Walla Walla
A Celebration of Fine Food, Wine, and Art
April 12, 2008
In the "BIG PARTY TENT" on First Avenue

 
The first annual ‘Feast’ will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2008 from 1pm to 4pm.  Our historic, award-winning downtown will set the scene for a fabulous afternoon of gastronomic and sensory entertainment in a heated, canopied venue covering First Avenue, between Main Street and Alder.  Over 50 vendors will be sampling their wares including 16 fine restaurants and food purveyors, 29 wineries, and 10 exceptional artists.  Musical entertainment will provide additional ambience and a chance to take a moment—and a sip—from a busy and delightfully creative atmosphere.  Adding to the attendee’s experience will be availability to purchase the wines being poured throughout the afternoon.  Net proceeds from the retail sales of bottled wines will benefit the Downtown Walla Walla Foundation and their mission.

Mark Anderson, owner of The Walla Walla Foundry--a world renowned bronze foundry and gallery--is encouraged by the attention such a prestigious event should generate. "The wines of the Walla Walla Valley region have garnered much national and regional praise. It's time for the spotlight to
also shine on the additional elements of our valley that make a visitor's experience so much richer. You come once to taste the wine, and then come back again and again for the wine AND the fine food AND the surrounding beauty."
