FEASTIVAL Returns to FringeArts Featuring Over 30 Of The City’s Top Restaurants
After a brief hiatus, FringeArts’ FEASTIVAL is making a return on Thursday, October 19th featuring some of Philadelphia’s top restaurants and bars to benefit FringeArts programming. This year, the annual fundraiser will be hosted in the historical pumping station on the Delaware waterfront, home to the FringeArts campus (140 N Christopher Columbus Blvd.) , including the theater and Fringe Bar, plus the outdoor Haas Biergarten. In support and celebration, over 30 of the city’s culinary leaders and top performance acts will come together for this special event.
Participants for this year’s FEASTIVAL include 2023 James Beard Foundation award-winners: Chad and Hanna Williams of “Outstanding Restaurant” Friday Saturday Sunday; Ellen Yin, “Outstanding Restaurateur”; Chutatip ‘Nok’ Suntaranon, “Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic”; and Toby Maloney, author of award-winning cocktail book, “The Bartender’s Manifesto: How to Think, Drink, and Create Cocktails Like a Pro.”
“The success of FringeArts is strengthened by the significant support of FEASTIVAL,” said Nick Stuccio, President and Producing Director of FringeArts. “Without the dedication and support from sponsors, culinary hosts, participating chefs, and donors, FringeArts and its work would not be possible.”
Attendees will have the opportunity to try dishes and samples from some of the best restaurants in the city including Rice & Sambal, Ambra, Bloomsday Café, Cicala at the Divine Lorraine, Darling Jack’s Tavern, Friday Saturday Sunday, Kalaya, a.kitchen, Luk Fu, Wilder, LMNO, Forsythia, coming-soon restaurant Starbolt, and more.
