Ticket prices vary with VIP Tickets priced at $75. These tickets include an armband for unlimited food samples and drinks tickets, exclusive early admission (11 am – 12 pm) to the event, a VIP lounge with a private bar, and more.

General Admission Tickets are priced at $45 and include an armband for unlimited food samples and drink tickets for craft beer and cocktail samples.

Food Only / Under 21 Tickets are priced at $25 and include an armband for unlimited food samples. Prices will increase after February 10, 2023.

Tickets are expected to sell out fast, so those interested are encouraged to purchase on Eventbrite. If your restaurant, food truck, or catering company is interested in competing for a cause, please contact the Frances Roy Agency by emailing hello@francesroy.com.
