Tickets for the 2019 Crave Food and Drink Celebration are now on sale.

The third annual festival is scheduled to take place July 11 to 13 at the CenterPlace Regional Event Center in Spokane Valley.

Main events include Thursday night’s Seafood Bash, Friday night’s Smoke & Fire tasting, Saturday night’s Foods from around the World tasting and Saturday’s Grand Tasting.

The three-day festival was held for the second time last July. 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.

Ticket offerings start at $35 and run up to $270. Tickets were slated to go on sale Dec. 1 but experienced delays.
