The Sullivan Catskills Visitors Association and Bethel Woods Center for the Arts will come together once again to create the second annual spectacular Catskill Cuisine event.
The immersive culinary experience-filled weekend will bring forth an extravaganza of different events taking place from May 10 – 12, 2024.
Catskill Cuisine’s inaugural event last year was met with great success and this year’s event will be even more outstanding, spanning the whole weekend. “Bethel Woods was honored to host Catskill Cuisine last year,” said Eric Frances, CEO of Bethel Woods Center for the Arts and Chair of the SCVA. “We are so pleased to see the event grow into the multi-day festival we always dreamed it could be.”
On top of the Food Festival, there will be the Catskill Cuisine Celebrity & Chef Invitational on Friday, May 10 at Resorts World Catskills, so make sure to get your golf clubs ready. Play 18 holes on the historic Monster Golf Course with celebrity chefs to support A Single Bite, Sullivan Catskills non-profit organization educating and feeding hungry neighbors with real and healthy local food. After the 18th hole, take part in an exclusive delicious 19th Hole Post Dinner Reception with popular chefs Scott Conant and Marcus Samuelsson.
The one-day Catskill Cuisine festival portion will take place on Saturday, May 11 at the historic site of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, now home of Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Thousands of foodies will be attending the main festival mixing together cuisine and entertainment, while Sullivan Catskills culinary trendsetters will showcase the region’s agritourism, local farms, craft food, beverages, and more.
Attendees will have the chance to explore Bethel Woods Center for the Arts iconic grounds, take part in tastings, demos, meet and greets, and book signings, all of which represent the Sullivan Catskills diverse and delicious epicurean offerings.
