Mark your calendars, foodies.

Crave Food and Drink Celebration has announced dates for its third annual event.

Next year’s festival is slated for July 11 to 14 at the CenterPlace Regional Event Center in Spokane Valley.

The four-day festival was held for the second time in July and featured four themed walk-around tasting events: Thursday’s Seafood Bash, Friday’s Foods from Around the World, Saturday’s Fire and Smoke, and Sunday’s brunch.

The inaugural event was held in June 2017.

Crave was created by local restaurateur and chef Adam Hegsted. He works in partnership with Newman Lake-based Vision Marketing to organize the event, which spotlights chefs and food vendors from around the region as the country.
