Join us for a one-of-a-kind fundraising event celebrating local growers and food producers — featuring local farms paired with chefs from some of the top restaurants around.
Meet these local food stars, watch live dish preparation, and enjoy their delicious creations along with local wine, beer, and signature cocktails, live music, a raffle, and a silent auction with unique stays, items, and experiences to win—all within the stunning water-view setting of Castle Hill Inn's Chalet Patio and Lawn overlooking the Narragansett Bay.
Local Food Fest centers the best and freshest our local food system has to offer, all while raising critical funds for Farm Fresh RI's programming.
