About Family Food Fest Atlanta
The event is an initiative that was founded by Diane Larché. This multicultural Father’s Day celebration involves food tasting and charity fundraising. Since 2015, the Atlanta event has been recognizing the contribution of men and fathers to their families and community. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit Atlanta Culinary Charities produces the yearly event on Father’s Day.
Atlanta families attending the event have the opportunity to sample a diverse array of dishes. This includes vegetarian/vegan delicacies. Attendees pay an “all-you-can-eat” admission price. With this, they get to taste appetizers, entrées, beverages, and desserts.
Other than food tastings, chef demos, and food judging, attendees can enjoy live music too. Children can explore balloon art, cotton candy, face painting, and caricatures at the kids’ zone. A silent auction and health pavilion are other major attractions at the annual Atlanta event.
The cancellation news of the 11th annual event may disappoint avid followers. However, the organizers are focused on using the time to enhance future celebrations. This way, the Family Food Fest Atlanta hopes to carry on the legacy of Diane Larché.
