Farm to Fork festival canceled, set to resume fall 2021
Wine lovers and foodies alike will have to wait until fall 2021 to enjoy Sacramento’s annual Farm to Fork Festival.
The festival — scheduled for September and set to include a wine-tasting event, a two-day street festival on Capitol Mall and a dinner at Tower Bridge — was canceled Thursday, Visit Sacramento announced in a news release.
“We know this is a disappointment not just for the attendees, but the farmers, chefs, restaurateurs and many other vendors and hospitality workers who take part in the festival every year,” said Mike Testa, CEO of Visit Sacramento.
The festival, which has been a staple of Sacramento autumns since 2013, normally draws thousands of attendees, the news release said.
Some proceeds from the Tower Bridge dinner traditionally go to scholarships for students at Sacramento State who are children of migrant farmworkers. This year, festival sponsor Bank of America will cover the scholarships instead, according to the news release.
