We are bringing back Fork Fest! Fork Fest is an exciting community-driven event designed to celebrate the vibrant local business scene in West Michigan. It brings together consumers, entrepreneurs, and food lovers in a one-of-a-kind experience focused on discovery, connection, and culinary exploration. The event offers food sampling from local restaurants, food vendors, and food artisans while spotlighting the diverse range of businesses that make West Michigan unique. Fork Fest aims to create a fun and engaging environment for attendees to learn about new businesses, connect with local entrepreneurs, and support the growth of the local economy.
This year attendees can expect locally made food and beverages from our members as well as a small makers market. Additionally, we will be hosting two mini Forkshops that will be celebrating food equity.
