The Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival (NYCWFF) is heading to Brooklyn.
As part of the festival's 2024 return, the event will debut a new 450,000 square foot culinary campus at Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park. Taking place October 17-20, the festival offers an epicurean experience in support of their charitable partner God’s Love We Deliver, a provider of life-sustaining meals and nutrition counseling.
Now entering its 17th year, NYCWFF provides platform for chefs and restaurants across all New York and beyond. For the first time ever, fan-favorite events The Grand Tasting and walkaround pier parties will be anchored in one location showcasing the nation’s most star-studded chefs and lifestyle personalities.
“We’re incredibly excited to expand our footprint to Brooklyn and offer our most attended events at one culinary campus. We are pleased to offer the same festival you know and love to more guests at our new location,” said Festival Founder and Director Lee Brian Schrager. “We look forward to welcoming more Brooklyn chefs and partners to this year’s events and further providing them with a platform to showcase their impeccable talent.”
On Thursday, October 17, NYCWFF’s headlining kick off pier party at Brooklyn Army Terminal’s Pier 4 will feature the Best of Brooklyn, showcasing over 25 of the borough’s culinary stars to over 2,500 attendees. Celebrity-hosted pier parties will continue nightly for the duration of the festival, including Rachael Ray’s Blue Moon Burger Bash presented by Pat LaFrieda Meats. This year’s Blue Moon Burger Bash marks a milestone, as it was launched in Brooklyn 15 years ago and will celebrate its Sweet 16 in Brooklyn once again.
The Grand Tasting will be available on Saturday, Oct. 19, and Sunday, Oct. 20. This tasting event showcases hundreds of winemakers and distillers from the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits portfolio and NYC’s best restaurants, in addition to culinary demonstrations by a lineup of Food Network stars and the nation’s most talented chefs and food personalities.
