Celebrating its 17th year, the Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival presented by Invesco QQQ (NYCWFF) returns to New York City from October 17 to 20, 2024.
Featuring more than 400 chefs, culinary icons, and celebrity talent, this year’s Festival showcases the best of New York’s vibrant food scene while supporting God’s Love We Deliver. With a dynamic array of over 80 events across New York City, including margarita-fueled river cruises and dazzling midnight parties, NYCWFF 2024 promises an unforgettable experience for every type of food lover.
“This year’s lineup is a true celebration of New York City’s culinary diversity, and we’re thrilled to introduce so many exciting new and remixed experiences,” said Festival Founder and Director Lee Brian Schrager. “From first-ever event formats like the Bobby Flay’s Triple Threat Dance Party to our incredible new venues at the Brooklyn Army Terminal, Hall des Lumières and Lawn Club in lower Manhattan, this year’s Festival stretches across the city, creating culinary destinations for every type of eventgoer. Whether you’re a casual food lover or a serious foodie, there’s something for everyone at NYCWFF, and we can’t wait to showcase the best of what the city has to offer.”

A dedicated NYCWFF Ferry powered by Invesco QQQ will be accessible via the NYC Ferry from Downtown Manhattan providing a seamless way for Festival goers to travel between events held in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
In addition to an action-packed lineup of fresh events, the Festival is introducing a groundbreaking new Sustainability Partner, Cork Collective, an initiative driven by founding partners – Rockwell Group, Amorim, Bluewell, and Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits – that’s dedicated to transforming the used cork stoppers into valuable resources for the public. The collection will take place over three days, including during the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits Trade Day hosted by Wine Spectator and the Grand Tasting events, which will be held under a large tent structure, with the team aiming to gather thousands of wine and spirits cork stoppers. Festival-goers are encouraged to bring their corks to the Cork Collective’s custom eQuad vehicle at the entrance of the Festival, and those who donate 50 or more corks will receive two complimentary tickets to Grand Tasting featuring Culinary Demonstrations presented by HexClad on Sunday, October 20. The Cork Collective booth will raffle off tickets to the Grand Tasting as they meet their daily collection goals. Visitors will be able to enter by scanning a QR code at the booth.
