Well-known chef and television host Guy Fieri has announced that he’ll be celebrating his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, next summer with the debut of the Flavortown Fest.

Set for June 1-2, 2024, the “food and funk” festival will be held at The Lawn at CAS, near the Ohio State University campus. The event will feature food, live music, vendors, and demonstrations.

“Flavortown Fest will offer the ultimate experience for foodies and fun-loving Fieri fans,” according to organizers. “Guests will experience a once-in-a-lifetime menu that screams flavor, set to the backdrop of epic live performances on the main music stage. Flavortown Fest is bound to surprise you at every turn just when you think you’ve seen it all.”

“[The festival will be] two full days of awesome music, the best chefs, real deal food from around the nation and a whole lotta fun that you’re gonna have to see to believe. This festival will truly be the first of its kind and I couldn’t be more stoked to bring it to my original hometown,” said Fieri.

The new festival will give a portion of proceeds from ticket sales to charities in the central Ohio region. The Guy Fieri Foundation focuses on programs that help veterans, first responders, literacy efforts, and culinary education.

While musical acts have not yet been announced, tickets can be purchased now at flavortownfest.com. Prices range from $155 to $215 for the two-day event, with VIP tickets and pricing said to be coming soon.
