Are you looking for some pictures of the OC Foodie Festival?

Look no further…. a great time was had by all.

Some recommendations to the organizers of the OC Foodie Fest.

Overall it was a great event. Good entertainment. I would grade it with a A- for effort, B+ for organization, B for value.

1. Water stations with filtered water and refillable water containers are allowed into the event, think green friendly. I saw people being asked to throw away full plastic bottles of water. Doesn’t seem right.
2. Charging $3 for a bottle of water from what was a sponsor? Honest Tea also $3?
3. I paid for VIP, but there should have been more shade for all. umbrellas blowing away in the wind, larger shad areas and misters to cool down.
4. More trucks and / or less people.
5. VIP should have included more value, having to wait in the VIP line and have them run out of samples at least twice, that is not good, maybe have two vendors sampling at the same time and better organization to allow for those that paid VIP get through the line quickly I waited at in the lines multiple times 2 hours total, I could have done that in the GA area and saved the money.
6. VIP – water ran out, drinks ran out with hours to go, including pop-chips and kind bars. GA booth from KIND bars had plenty.
Move some of the water and tea from the $3 booth to the VIP area.
7. Perhaps the event should have started later 3-4pm and ran later 8-9pm?
8. VIP should had for sure had at least 1 hour in before GA, I had enough time to get two things and people started lining up all over the place.
