Eat Real Festival

Thank goodness Megs has been around to pick up my slack- I haven't been able to blog since I recently started helping out with the new Oakland institution that is the Eat Real Festival!

The Eat Real Festival, now in it's second year, is a three day event held during the last weekend of August which celebrates street food and urban homesteading. With over 80 food vendors, 25 of which are trucks, and 3 stages (one of which Megs will be DJing on!), craft collaborations, DIY workshops, tons of booze, and competitions to watch as well as partake in, this is one foodie event no one should miss. It's taking place at Jack London Square and is FREE admission. It's twice as big as last year, and sure to be twice as tasty.

I am in love with the people who are responsible for putting this together and have been having a blast being a part of their team. They're looking for volunteers to help out at the event, so if you wanna work with some awesome food-loving locals check out the website for more info. You can also peep the Eat Real Twitter feed and facebook page for ongoing foodie news.
