It's all about finding new flavors at this epic food and beverage showcase. Once you get in, you'll have to beat the crowds to explore, but that's part of the fun. VIP tickets get you early admission, and only a limited number are sold, so they may be your best bet if you're not into waiting in line.   

In addition to the edible treats, DJs will be providing music throughout the weekend to keep you entertained. Come hungry and ready to eat, meet, and shop!
