Delicious Family Fun starts at 1pm!!! Sponsored by the Wellsville Rotary Coub
From the Taste of Wellsville Committee,
The third annual Taste of Wellsville Food Festival and Market will be rolling into Island Park on Saturday, August 23, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. This community festival features restaurants and food vendors from Wellsville and the surrounding area. While sampling the tasty offerings available, there are also local vendors selling artwork, crafts, and other tempting goodies, free live music, and a kids’ zone.
After doing a fantastic job getting this local event off the ground in 2023 and 2024, the Wellsville Development Corporation turned the festival over to the Taste of Wellsville Committee, supported by the Wellsville Rotary. With this shift, the committee decided to make some other big changes to the event, as well. The festival will be at Island Park in Wellsville rather than on Main Street, giving this year a shady, intimate feel. They also shifted the timeframe to start in the early afternoon and run through the early evening with main-stage bands starting at 4 p.m.
As in years past, some food vendors will be “featured” with at least one item on their menu costing less than $5, making it easier for attendees to sample widely. Festival attendees will have the opportunity to vote for their favorites.
Live music will start with local band Ballad at Midnight, known for their covers of rock legends like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, at 4 p.m. John Wise & Friends take the stage at 5 p.m. and will play out the festival with a repertoire of popular songs that will have the audience singing along. The kids’ zone, situated near the Island Park playground, will include bounce houses and other outdoor games for the whole family to enjoy.
