Tickets for the 2016 Wine & Food Festival Go on Sale Via the Internet
The festival, which attracted 5,000 attendees last year, will be held again in White Plains and Valhalla, on June 9 through June 11, 2016.
Tickets for the 2016 Wine & Food Festival have been placed on sale through the internet.
The three-event program will again include a “Burger & Beer Blast” (on June 9) and a “Grand Tasting Village” (on June 11) — both to take place at the Kensico Dam Plaza, and “An Evening with Westchester’s Tastemakers” (on June 10) in the Grand Ballroom of the Ritz-Carlton in White Plains. Last year, this program attracted 5,000 attendees.
The Wine & Food Festival supports two local not-for-profit organizations by donating a portion of ticket sales: Friends of Westchester County Parks which is committed to the preservation and conservation of 18,000 acres of parks and trails; and the Food Bank for Westchester, whose mission is to reduce hunger in Westchester County.
