I lost my voice but the smiles, hugs, and energy yesterday was worth it. I hope if you aren’t a vegan, you came and had an amazing flavorful day.

If you are vegan, thank you for showing up for US!

To my vendors, your businesses are IMPORTANT, I can’t wait to see you continue thrive.

To my team and the volunteers, I can’t do this without you and your dedication to the event and the people who we serve.

In my heart I want to do this event another 25 years and pass the torch eventually.

Right now? I’m going to continue to work, learn, grow and volunteer at other events to improve like I did this year.

Bizerkeley Food Fest is my baby but lots of changes have to happen for this event to happen safely, smoothly and equitably and that also takes a VILLAGE.

Funding is our biggest hurdle and we thank our sponsors @blupeakcreditunion @ahs_clu @carbonhealth Berkeley @elmwoodcopy and @lasallemortgage for helping make this event happen! Our heroes! 🦸

Feedback is always appreciated to help us IMPROVE but please remember you have not a Blue’s Clue how many hours, planning, and work we put in to make this event happen. PLEASE understand things will not be perfect but don’t think, this event was put together without thousands of hours of hard work.

.
Will we see you in 2027?? Funding will ultimately determine that ❤️‍🩹 but follow us here for the date announcement as soon as we’re ready to say See you Sunday September 5th 2027 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
