Tickets are on sale now for second-annual Crave festival

Tickets are on sale now for the sophomore Crave Food and Drink Celebration, started last year by chef Adam Hegsted.

The second Crave festival is slated to take place July 12 to 18, 2018, at CenterPlace at Mirabeau Point Park in Spokane Valley.

The location is the same as the first-time event in 2017. But the fest has been pushed back from Father’s Day weekend to mid July.

Tickets are available in a package for all six events as well as individually. Other packages include three of the six events or just the two Grand Tasting events.

The schedule is:

Thursday, July 12 – Seafood Bash, 6 to 9 p.m.

Friday, July 13 – Foods from Around the World, 6 to 9 p.m.

Saturday, July 14 – Grand Tasting, 1 to 4 p.m., and Fire and Smoke, 6 to 9 p.m.

Sunday, July 15 – Brunch, 9 a.m. to noon, and Grand Tasting, 1 to 4 p.m

Special guest chefs have not yet been announced. The line-up at the inaugural event included Jeremiah Tower, a pioneer of California cuisine.
