"The Seattle Christmas Market is back at Seattle Center, with some 20+ food and drink booths to try. Munch on holiday faves like bratwurst, currywurst, raclette, goulash, handbrot, pretzels, meat pies, schnitzel, borscht, and spatzle. If Christmas is for sweet treats, try strudel, scones, churros, crepes, cream puffs, and chimney cakes. Drinks include hot chocolate, apple cider, and gluhwein for the grown-ups." - Courtney E. Smith
"Puffle Up specializes in unique fluffy desserts, making it a must-visit vendor at the Bite of Seattle." - Harry Cheadle
"An all-you-can eat ice cream festival with more than 75 flavors is coming to Seattle Center on August 27 from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. and August 28 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Online tickets for the Scooped Ice Cream Festival are going for $25 on the festival’s website. Ice cream will be available from around ten ice cream brands, and there will be music and entertainment from Seattle performers like Marshall Law Band, Supreme La Rock, and Queen Irene." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart
"Weeks after Seattle’s new music festival Day In Day Out was announced, the food and drinks lineup has come into focus. Among some of the local favorites are Capitol Hill street food vendor Dirty Dogs, ice cream chain Full Tilt, cheesesteak purveyor the Original Philly’s, and fried seafood operation the Fishbox. The vendors also include newer pop-up Ice on Mars, which specializes in funky sci-fi-themed flavors like Martian Sunrise (with tangerine juice, green cardamom, and edible glitter), as well as Just Poke, falafel specialist Truly Mediterranean, and Kent-based Filipino food truck Big Boys Kainan. Day In Day Out — from the Capitol Hill Block Party organizers — launches over Labor Day weekend at the Fisher Green Pavilion in Seattle Center, and will feature performances from Chvrches, Kaytranada, Strfkr, and others; in addition to the food trucks, there will be an indoor-outdoor beer garden at the pavilion itself. All attendees will be asked to present proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test results within 48 hours in order to enter the festival." - Gabe Guarente
"One of the biggest food events of the year is ramping up again at the Seattle Center, starting Friday. For those not familiar, this weekend-long festival has been going on since 1982 and features samplings from restaurants, along with cooking demonstrations, beer tastings, live entertainment, and more. This year, some of the vendors to look out for include Pecos Pit BBQ (on Seattle Eater’s list of top barbecue spots in the city), Asian Tex-Mex specialists Phorale, and Sazon Tacos, which recently spun off its roving operation into a breakfast and brunch spot in Ballard. Meanwhile, there will be plenty of action in the Alley, with Din Tai Fung serving up chicken wontons and Art of the Table slinging tuna tartare." - Gabe Guarente
