Fort Worth Food + Wine Reinvents its Spring Festival — Officially On Sale Dec. 1

The Fort Worth Food + Wine Festival, North Texas’ premier culinary festival, announced today full details about its fall offerings including a seated dinner, “Far Out Feast,” featuring the dynamic culinary duo Felipe Armenta and Graham Elliot, and an autumnal version of “Night Market,” a global street market-inspired event now delighting guest earlier in the festival season. This highly anticipated fall lineup of events sets the stage for even more ways for Fort Worth culinary connoisseurs to support the North Texas culinary community.

As it gears up for the 2024 Spring Festival (April 4-7, 2024), and the Fort Worth Food + Wine Foundation’s 10th anniversary, this year’s offerings promise to be bigger, better, and more delicious than ever, with tickets officially on sale starting December 1, 2023.

Kicking off the 2023-2024 foundation event season on November 8 is the “Far Out Feast,” a culinary extravaganza like none other. Hosted at the prestigious Fort Worth Club, this exclusive seated dinner will celebrate the culinary mastery of the powerhouse chef team Felipe Armenta and Graham Elliot of FAR Out Hospitality. This delectable event is more than fine dining; it’s a celebration of the 2023 Walter F. Kaufmann Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, The Renfro Family. This prestigious honor, reserved for those who embody the integrity, achievements, and standards set by the beloved Fort Worth Chef Walter, is the perfect fit for The Renfro Family, with their illustrious 80-year history and a brand deeply rooted in Fort Worth. Previous recipients of the award have included beloved chef Jon Bonnell, the late Renie Stevens, and the Anfin Family. 

Night Market, previously held at Whiskey Ranch as part of the spring festival experience, is now a part of the fall lineup. Attendees can stroll through this street-market-inspired experience on Thursday, November 30, at Panther Island Pavilion. As a special treat, FWFWF aficionados can jumpstart their holiday shopping with the best gift in town, as Night Market attendees will be given exclusive first access to ticket sales for the 2024 Fort Worth Food + Wine Festival.
