Fairfield, CT — Everyone knows that Fairfield is a foodie town filled with terrific restaurants and talented chefs. Fairfield Magazine, part of multi-magazine media company TownVibe, is preparing to celebrate the dynamic food scene with the third annual food-lover’s party of the year—Taste of Fairfield—on Sunday, October 7, 2018, from 1pm to 5pm, held in the outdoor tented patio area of Southport’s Delamar Hotel. “The Delamars are at the heart of Fairfield and Hartford Counties and home to many wonderful events. Our courtyards and open-air event spaces provide perfect locations for people to come together. We are thrilled to be hosting the Taste of Fairfield again and look forward to welcoming the community to enjoy the variety of cuisine the area offers,” says Charles Mallory, Founder and CEO of The Greenwich Hospitality group.
Foodies and other fun-loving folk can enjoy tastes and sips from more than two dozen restaurants and specialty markets from the Fairfield area, all in the spacious courtyard of the Delamar and Artisan Restaurant. In addition to fine cuisine, craft cocktails, Josh Cellar and Layer Cake wines, craft beer, microbrews, and sweets, there will be live music from hot local rock band Ellis Island along with hip pop-up shops, like the Two Oh Three, Mack and Ro/Saltwater, The Secret Ingredient Girls, Wooster Street Meats, and hipV vintage jewelry. “Good things happen when people connect over good food,” says TownVibe publisher Geoffrey Morris.
Kids will have a ball – and a bounce – in the Taste of Fairfield Kids’ zone where there will be a Bounce House Family CT bounce house, cookie decorating by Connecticut Cookie Company, edible cookie dough treats, face painting, and crafts for kids. Back by popular demand, Lisa Marie Rollieri, local psychic medium of “Angels Speak” will be doing readings and donating proceeds to Operation Hope.
