Five Years of Feastival
FringeArts announces the fifth annual Audi FEASTIVAL will be held on Thursday, September 18, 2014. The 2014 Audi FEASTIVAL will expose the region’s most influential business leaders and tastemakers to FringeArts by uniting dynamic and cutting edge artistic performances with world-class restaurants. This year’s event will be held at Penn’s Landing, 1 North Delaware Avenue on the Delaware River waterfront between Market and Chestnut Streets from 7:00-10:00 PM. More than eight hundred attendees are expected for what promises to be the cultural event of the year. Tickets are now on sale at www.phillyfeastival.com and are $250 for General Admission or $350 for a VIP ticket that allows early access at 6:00 PM as well as admission to the Audi VIP Lounge.
The 2014 Audi FEASTIVAL, presented by Philadelphia Magazine/Foobooz, PECO, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation, will once again be co-hosted by three culinary luminaries: Stephen Starr, Michael Solomonov, and Audrey Claire Taichman. Event co-chairs are Denise Di Simone of PNC Bank; Real Estate Attorney Tony Forte of Saul Ewing LLP; and Jesse & Beka Rendell. Crystal and Truffle level sponsors include Amstel Light, The Governor’s Woods Foundation, Advanced Staging Production, COOK, Expert Events, Franklin Square Capital Partners, Hersha, Parx Casino, PNC Bank-Arts Alive, Sparks, and Susquehanna Bank.
“This year is a watershed moment for us — it’s the fifth year of FEASTIVAL, and the first year that FringeArts has its own building,” says FringeArts Board President Richard Vague. “With that, we will expand from 16 days to well over 100 days of performances annually — and that means an unprecedented level of groundbreaking theater and dance for Philadelphia.” This year’s event will once again feature live performances by critically-acclaimed artists, a culinary feast from over 75 of the city’s top restaurants and bars, and silent and live auctions. All proceeds will benefit FringeArts. For more information and tickets please visit www.phillyfeastival.com.
