"A downtown food hall and event space serving as the festival’s central hub, hosting everything from a panel on queer identity in food photography and storytelling (featuring pastry chef and author Justin Burke alongside photographer Brian Samuels and stylist Catrine Kelty) to two days of a grand tasting party—an all-you-can-enjoy block-party-style celebration with dozens of chefs, mixologists, DJs, drag pop-ups, authors, influencers, and a raucous drag brunch edition that emphasizes queer hospitality, visibility, and joy." - Nathan Tavares
