We’re highlighting a few events that we’re particularly stoked for, and if you want to win tickets, you can enter our contest right here. We’ll also be spotlighting some of the coolest people you’ll find at the festival, starting today with beloved local chef Mike Pirolo.
If you don’t know his name, you definitely know his food.
