Piedmont’s free, multi-cultural Food Fest returned to Piedmont Park on April 19 with an array of 60 local food and beverage vendors, artists, retailers, and community groups. In four years, the volunteer-run Food Fest has quickly turned into a favorite spring event for the community, drawing families from town and neighboring communities.
Event organizer Roger Tsai said roughly 2,000 people attended the event this year. “Thank you to our amazing community, volunteers, and sponsors for supporting our Food Fest vendors, performers, and community partners,” he said. “It was wonderful to celebrate the vibrant diversity we’re so fortunate to have here in the Bay Area!”
