All festival proceeds will benefit Libertae, Inc. an addiction and recovery treatment center for women and their children throughout Pennsylvania.

Look for a celebrity guest appearance by Chef Marc Murphy. March Murphy is a world-renowned chef, restaurateur, and judge on The Food Network's hit TV show Chopped.

“We wanted to showcase the vibrant culinary talent in Bucks County,” said Yeghiche Manoukian, Executive Vice President of Parx Casino®. “When foodies in the area are looking for an upscale, quality dining experience there are many reasons to stay local, and skip going into the city. The local restaurant scene has grown significantly in the last few years, and we are proud to have our very own Oliveto and Liberty Bell Gastropub as part of that regional development. Our festival is the next evolution of Bucks County’s food and wine scene. Come hungry, as it will be a day of delicious offerings we won’t soon forget!”
