Flavor Fest: Summer Kickoff to Stability

Join us for Flavor Fest, a free lively community festival benefiting Encompass Ministries and our mission to help neighbors in need Nourish. Grow. Thrive. This family-friendly event brings together great food, local businesses, and community spirit for a day of fun and impact.

Flavor Fest will feature 10–15 food trucks, restaurant tasting tents, and a variety of artisan and community vendors, offering something for everyone to enjoy. Guests can sample delicious dishes, purchase full menu items from food trucks, browse local vendors, and relax while enjoying live music throughout the day. Families can also visit the kids zone, featuring games and activities designed for younger attendees. A highlight of the event will be the Flavor Fest Tasting Passport, which allows guests to sample small bites from participating restaurants and food trucks while voting for festival awards such as Best Bite, Crowd Favorite, and Sweet Treat Champion. This tasting experience highlights the creativity of local chefs while giving attendees the opportunity to discover new favorites.

In addition to celebrating great food, Flavor Fest will also host a community food drive, helping stock the shelves for families experiencing food insecurity. Guests are encouraged to bring nonperishable food donations or make a contribution to support Encompass Ministries’ food assistance and stability programs. Every tasting, vendor purchase, and donation helps provide food, resources, and life-skills support for individuals and families working to regain stability.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference in our community. Bring your friends, bring your family, and come hungry—Flavor Fest is a celebration of food, community, and generosity.
