FoodieLand, organizers of the West Coast’s largest food festival, is pleased to announce its acquisition of Bite of Seattle (“The Bite”), Seattle’s original food festival. This transfer in event management will continue to strengthen The Bite’s status as a long-standing annual community tradition and will be executed in partnership with Seattle Center. The Bite will return July 19-21, 2024, at Seattle Center with free admission.
FoodieLand intends to leverage its extensive experience hosting large-scale community-focused food festivals to enhance The Bite experience for new and long-time festival goers. Attendees can expect an expanded selection of local vendors and the return of in-person payments, both credit cards and cash, for a more familiar experience. Further reintroductions include sample-sized portions at an affordable price range and cherished pre-pandemic traditions and activities: craft beer and wine tastings, cooking demos by professional chefs, cook-off competitions, and The Alley’s experience — a featured festival activity where attendees can purchase a fixed sampler plate of multiple bites from various vendors for one flat fee.
The Bite 2024 promises exciting new food-related activities and an even bigger showcase of Seattle’s innovative food scene and city culture, featuring 250+ local food vendors, retail pop-ups, craft beer and wine tastings, and 50+ musical artists. FoodieLand is committed to encompassing The Bite’s best parts while bringing forth new concepts for a refreshing festival experience.
