Savor Local Foodie Fest Set for March 24

Norwalk, CT — From TownVibe, the folks who brought you Taste of Fairfield and WinterFest, comes a brand-new food-lovers festival celebrating even more local restaurants and businesses, with a special fun-filled and family-friendly day of tastings and entertainment at the newly renovated Lakota Oaks, 32 Weed Avenue in Norwalk. The event takes place Sunday, March 24 from 1 PM to 4 PM, with a special VIP Experience Preview entry ticket from noon to 1 PM. “We like to celebrate local businesses and bring people together to enjoy great food and drink, be entertained, and meet new customers and friends,” says Geoffrey Morris, publisher of TownVibe and creator of Savor Local. Tickets can be purchased at www.savorlocal.org 

TownVibe has joined forces with Norwalk Now ( www.norwalknow.org ), a collaborative marketing group comprised of Norwalk’s urban core businesses who, like TownVibe with its stable of six magazines and several culinary events, believe that great things happen when people work together. “Norwalk Now is excited to bring our neighborhood of restaurants to Savor Local,” says Norwalk Now Director Linda Kavanagh. “Here, you will be able to experience Norwalk’s vibrant dining scene, from quintessential New England fare and locally sourced seafood, to low-country cuisine, prime steaks, Italian favorites, Mexican eats, and high-spirited drinking wells.”

Over 25 restaurants and businesses will bring their tastes and sips to share with the Savor Local guests that day. A complete list of participants and sponsors is available at TownVibe.com. In addition to the great food and drink, there will be a DJ and live entertainment by Lakeside Productions, a 95.9 Fox crew, comedians from the Fairfield Comedy Club, a kids’ craft area, and pop-up shops featuring Connecticut-based entrepreneurs. 

The event benefits Family & Children’s Agency of Norwalk ( www.familyandchildrensagency.org ) through a “Chances to Win”  table with terrific prizes including fine jewelry, hotel stays, and spa visits, and a donate link when tickets are purchased at savorlocal.org. “Family & Children’s Agency (FCA) is excited to be the beneficiary of the chances to win items and guest donations for the inaugural Savor Local event. As a social services agency serving more than 13,000 of our neighbors in need each year, our work would not be possible without the support of donors, volunteers, and companies like TownVibe. By partnering with Family & Children’s Agency to provide funding and awareness of our more than 30 program, TownVibe is helping children, families, adults, and seniors have access to the critical services FCA offers,” says Robert F. Cashel, President & CEO of Family & Children’s Agency.
