Each weekend's festival includes workshops, dinners, demonstrations, thought-provoking discussions, and more in order to provide culinary experience to participants and enrich them about pressing issues within southern Appalachia and the culinary world. The event series is designed to start conversations about community issues such racial justice, climate change, and food justice. Simultaneously, the festival provides activities that amplify understanding and appreciation of the southern Appalachian cuisine and region.
