DeCicco Family Markets, the family-owned gourmet market known for its selection of meats, seafood and grocery, as well as a vast quantity of cheeses and beers from around the world, is hosting an all-day Food Festival on Saturday, June 2 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the parking lot of the company's Brewster store located at 50 Independent Way.

The event will include over 50 vendors of produce, grocery, dairy products, frozen goods, meats, cheese and beers from local farms, breweries, and locations in Orange, Putnam and Westchester counties. Local vendors and merchants from nearby Connecticut and Pennsylvania, as well as upstate New York, will conduct demonstrations throughout the day. Farmers, bakers, cheese makers, brewers and other exhibitors will provide samples and information at various tasting tables set up around the property and in-store.

The DeCicco culinary team, senior management and buyers have been visiting local farms, manufacturers and distribution facilities to ensure the freshness and quality of the products to be displayed. Some of the vendors include 3 Dogs Bakery of Briarcliff Manor; Boars Head of the Brooklyn; Captain Lawrence Brewery of Elmsford; Ciao Bella of Floram Park, NJ; Connecticut Shellfish Company of Branford, Conn.; Freebird Chicken of Fredericksburg, Penn.; Hudson Valley Harvest of New Paltz; Simply Greek Yogurt of Little Falls, NY; and Stonewall Kitchens of York, Maine.

In addition to all of these wide array of local vendors, kids will enjoy face painting, arts and crafts, games and more.

"In keeping with our mission statement, we are responding directly to customer feedback and suggestion by sourcing great food that is grown, raised or produced locally and that is close to our homes," said John DeCicco, Jr. We anticipate a great turn out for the Food Festival and look forward to making it an annual tradition for local families.
