This event will provide 60 finalists an opportunity to showcase and keep the sales from a singular food or beverage entry from one of five categories and win an award in their category. Applicants can apply through June 3rd.

Event access is free to the public and will also feature half-a-dozen notable experiences including a beer garden, pumpkin patch pop-up, kitchen gadget pop-up, and garden shop to name a few.
