Since I've moved to CT, one of my favorite summer past times are going to food festivals. Hands down, the best food festival is a Taste of Mystic in Mystic, CT. Here are some of the highlights.
FREE Admission. If you're not interested in buying anything, you are welcomed to bring your chair and enjoy the free music. You can also bring your dog, however, you're not allowed to bring the dog into the vendor row.
Wide Range of Food. Mystic isn't just known for it's pizza. I tasted dishes from Jamaica, Vietnam, Thai, Ameican clasics, and so much more.
Time of Year. Early October in New England is gorgeous. The days are not overwhelming hot which makes for a perfect environment to enjoy outdoor activities for all ages.
A Weekend Affair. The festival spans over the course of three days so finding time to go is very convenient.
The Grounds. The absolute best thing about this festival is the location. The green separates Mystic's river and the street of the festival. Children are free to run around while others might decided to side by the dock. Finding a spot to relax is easy.
Hubby and I look forward to this event every year, especially since we can bring Blizzard. Here are a few photos from the day. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos of the food but I'll be sure to do so next year.
That looks like so much fun! What was your favorite dish?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, Hubby goes for the food. I go for the atmosphere. He picked up Bubble tea, pulled beef with cheese sandwich, lobster bisque, and some awesome Asian dishes, which I have no clue what they are called. I just got a Jamaican beef patty and a funnel cake.
DeleteHa, at least you know what you like! I like bubble tea, I had it the first time I went to San Francisco.
