At the festival, guests can taste over 30 culinary creations while sampling signature handcrafted cocktails from Kalahari’s on-site restaurants. Additionally, over 50 local and national wine, beer, and spirit brands will be sampling their products. Guests will also enjoy chef demonstrations and unforgettable entertainment, including a live performance from TikTok sensation NGBX Piano. “The Food & (Not Just) Wine Festival is a celebration of Kalahari’s commitment to culinary excellence,” Kalahari Executive Chef Stacy Calles said. “The concept for this festival started at our Round Rock, Texas, resort — and due to its success hosting thousands of guests, we knew we had to expand to our Poconos resort. This event is not to be missed.”
