Get ready to slurp, sip, and celebrate at BRINE & DINE: Oysters, Films, and Ferments Party — the official kick-off to the festival! We’re serving up a lively mix of flavors, tunes, and films that put food in the spotlight. Dive into a briny oyster bar, bite into the one-night only 100-Mile Ferments Burger, and sample pickles and ferments from local food makers showcasing their products. Raise a glass of local brews, wines, or kombucha before settling in for a carefully curated selection of short films.
