The festival is Boston's premier food festival promoting the joys of eating local food and includes local farmers, some of the best restaurants in New England, specialty foods,  Fishstock and a “Seafood Throwdown”, Meat Cutting Demos and Chef Demos. The “Do-It-Yourself” (DIY) educational component allows amateur and professionals the opportunity to showcase their skills with festival-goers.  This year's festival will take place in a new location, The Rose Kennedy Greenway on Sunday, October 7, 2012 from 11am - 5pm. This new expanded location will accommodate the growing event."
