This past September, SOWE attracted over 7,500 attendees to an epicurean celebration, featuring over 100 sponsors, 75 restaurants, celebrity chefs, and more.

"Last year's festival was so well received, and the feedback was so strong, we had to expand the schedule and programming to accommodate everyone," stated Richard Baumer, Founder of SOWE. "Every restaurant, vendor, attendee, sponsor, media partner, chef, and charitable organization, expressed an interest to participate on an ongoing basis." Last year's Festival took place in a fully tented Scarsdale Village, featuring the best Westchester food, wine, beer, music, kid's activities, chef demonstrations, book signings, and celebrity meet & greets.

The weekend's festivities will showcase gourmet food samplings from hundreds of Southern Westchester's top restaurants, caterers, bakeries, and pit masters, plus over 300 award winning wines and craft beers from around the world. Attendees will also experience celebrity-chef cooking demonstrations, product displays, book signings, live music, children's activities, and more!
