It’s stuff like this, why I love living in Grand Rapids and West Michigan.

The event is presented by Brewery Vivant so you know they’ll have food and drink on site, but so will more than 40 other West Michigan eateries, grocers, farms, bakeries, and breweries.

The ticket price is $40 on their website or $45 at the door, but you’ll walk around from booth to booth trying samples of different local deliciousness. (Yes, the samples are included in your ticket price.)

There will also be a cash bar with beverages available from Brewery Vivant, Long Road Distillery, Fenn Valley Vineyards and Farmhaus Cider Co.

The list of restaurants and business participating makes that $45 ticket price look like nothing.  Check out who will all be there sampling:
