This was our 1st time attending and it did not disappoint!!
This is a Food Festival that makes a real impact in our community! Every bite benefits the largest homeless services provider in the San Gabriel Valley, Union Station Homeless Services.
With over 100+ of LA’s best Chefs, Restaurants, Bakeries, Breweries and Wineries we definitely savored every delectable bite!! We enjoyed culinary tastings, delectable desserts, handcrafted cocktails, craft breweries, select wineries, cold pressed juices and cold brew coffee from over 100 Culinary Masters! And, yes, it was UNLIMITED!!
Chef hosts Chef Thomas and Chef Vanessa Tilaka Kalb of Agnes Restaurant & Cheesery are committed to sourcing from the region’s best farmers and makers!
Parking was included with the ticket. Plenty of parking. For general admission tickets, there was a long line as everyone waited for the gate to open at 4pm. VIP tickets get you in at 3pm.
Music filled the air from La Bellatini. There were some food trucks as soon as you walked in. On the field, there was excitement in the air and the buzz from people trying all the food and drinks! They had some picnic tables and a VIP area. We really enjoyed the event.
1st Zipangu💙✨️ was great at the Rose Bowl Stadium! I know the place doesn't hire security but they where horrible. Told me i would use a necklace for a weapon. Other than that staff where friendly and event was great and chill✨️ i would reccomended opening more gates for people not to miss some of the show or open earlier. Ado 💙 was great like always! 🌹
Foodieland, is why I was there. The heat was intense 😫, definitely needs to wear sunscreen and hat. Stay hydrated. As for the food, the items I got everything was delicious 😋. It's a great time to spend with family. Some food was $$, but most of it $. The drone show was the best part and amazing. Overall great time had. 10/10
I went there for a friendly match and generally had a great time. The highlight is of course the sun setting on the San Gabriel Mountains. The seating is very cramped at this historic location, which made me nervous. Also, the shuttles back to Pasadena were limited, which forced us to walk back to the parking.
