COLUMBUS, Ohio — Columbus is transforming into Flavortown next summer.
Columbus native and celebrity chef Guy Fieri announced on Friday that the first-ever Flavortown Fest will take place in the capital city on June 1 and June 2.
The festival will take place at The Lawn at CAS, a 54-acre campus near the Olentangy River. The event is described as a "one-of-a-kind festival embodying the spirit of Guy Fieri, the mayor of Flavortown."
"I was actually born in Columbus, Ohio, so one might say it's pretty much the birthplace of Flavortown,” said Fieri. “But in 2024, we’re making it official with the launch of Flavortown Fest, two full days of awesome music, the best chefs, real deal food from around the nation and a whole lotta fun that you’re gonna have to see to believe! This festival will truly be the first of its kind and I couldn’t be more stoked to bring it to my original hometown."
While specifics on programming and events will be announced at a later date, organizers said Guy Fieri called the nation’s top chefs and music artists to make the festival “one you can’t miss.”
Tickets for the two-day festival are available to purchase at www.flavorfest.com starting at $155. The festival is in partnership with the Guy Fieri Foundation and will donate a portion of proceeds from every ticket sold to support different charities in the Columbus area supporting first responders and veterans.
