Snail Fest 2025 | Slow Food Utah's Annual Gathering

You are invited to the second annual Snail Fest hosted by Slow Food Utah! Join us for an evening at the Neighborhood Hive to sample small bites and drinks curated from Utah businesses that do it best - our Snail of Approval awardees!

This celebration honors both emerging and established awardees who continue to bring the remarkable flavors of Utah to their products, while raising money for the Slow Food Microgrant. Learn more about the microgrant here!

With each ticket purchase, you will receive two drink tickets, good for either cocktails or mocktails, and 5 small bites from local vendors.

Stay tuned as we continue to announce vendors!

What is Snail Of Approval? Slow Food Snail of Approval is a recognition given to food and beverage establishments that are pursuing and practicing Slow Food values in their business: restaurants, farms, ranches, fisheries, cafes, bars, food trucks, breweries, wineries, caterers, value-added food producers.
