SARATOGA SPRINGS — The eighth annual Saratoga International Flavorfeast will be held 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 7.
The popular food festival in downtown Saratoga Springs provides attendees a feast of flavors from around the globe, while enjoying multi-cultural street performances throughout the day. International flags that line Broadway herald the annual event’s return.
Beginning at 11 a.m. on Oct. 7, Flavorfeast “passport-maps” displaying a layout of participating restaurants/businesses can be picked up on the corner of Broadway and Division Street.
The map – which is also available at www.saratogaflavorfeast.com the night before the event - helps event-goers plan their day’s itinerary of travel to a variety of local restaurant destinations for $2 food samples from countries of origin such as Ireland, Italy, India, Guatemala, Spain, Mexico, Egypt, Greece, and more.
Participating restaurants include: Bare Blends, Ben & Jerry’s, Boca Bistro, Brasserie Benelux, Cantina, Esperanto, Gaffney’s Restaurant, Hattie’s, Henry Street Taproom, KaffeeHouse, Kaleidoscope Café, Karavalli, Kindred, Maple Valley Farm, Nashville of Saratoga, Phila Fusion, Sara’s Kitchen, Sushi Thai Garden, The District, The Parting Glass, Trattoria Fortunata, West Avenue Pizza, and Wheatfields Restaurant & Bar. Saratoga Olive Oil Company will be offering free tastings throughout the day.
“Our inspiration for creating this event was to showcase the variety of restaurants we enjoy in this region and to highlight the tremendous skills of our local chefs,” Ashley Dingeman, Saratoga Food Fanatic Blogger/Writer and co-organizer of the event said in a statement. “Fall is a beautiful time of year to walk the streets of Saratoga, and sample incredible tastes from local restaurants representing countries from all around the world.”
Entertainment including Asian dance, Irish Step Dancing, fiddling, German accordion playing, African drumming and more will take place at various locations downtown including The Spa City Motor Lodge Parking Lot, the Parting Glass Lot, the Adirondack Trust Drive Thru, as well as roaming locations throughout the city streets.
When you pick up your “passport map,” at the corner of Division and Broadway, you can enter to win prizes. All proceeds will go directly to the Food Pantry at the Franklin Community Center. In addition to food samples at restaurant locations on Broadway, Phila Street, Caroline Street, Lake Avenue and Henry Street, there will be restaurants from outside the center of town set up in The Spa City Motor Lodge Parking Lot, on the corner of Broadway and Division Street.
The Saratoga International Flavorfeast is presented by Saratoga Food Fanatic and Network Saratoga. A full list of participating restaurants, menu items, and entertainment will be posted on www.saratogaflavorfeast.com. For more information, call 518-365-3459.
