This is a wonderful opportunity for diners to try new restaurants or re-visit old favorites while helping to fight hunger in Houston. HRW is planned by volunteers so that 100% of funds raised are donated to the Houston Food Bank.

New and exciting food features have been added for this years event: there’s more Oregon craft beers, more Oregon wines and talented local and celebrity Chef’s sharing their culinary skills on Sysco’s Oregon Chef Stage. Join us this summer and celebrate all that is Oregon. Plus, you’ll be supporting Special Olympics Oregon too.

When 22,000 people come out on the hottest weekend of the summer to attend the largest free vegetarian food festival in the country, you know you’re looking at a huge success. We want to thank all of you who participated in and supported Veggie Fest 2010 and we hope you will be part of this year’s festivities. We are looking forward to another great party with lots more fun, great new vendors, exciting food demos, expert speakers, wonderful children’s programs, fantastic live music and a fabulous food court.

If you do, bring yourself, your friends, your family and even your dog to the 5th Annual Austin Ice Cream Festival. This yummy event will include lot's of games, activities, contests and live entertainment as well as what we all scream for ICE CREAM! It's the one time of year dessert can be dinner!
