FOOD AND BEVERAGE ANNOUNCEMENT

We have some food and drink announcements to share with you all! Enhancing our Food and Drink program was a big priority for the festival this year and we have some news that we hope excites you as much as it excites us!

The festival would like to welcome several food & drink newcomers – Clear Water BBQ, an Eau Claire smokehouse serving locally sourced meats, Dumpling Darling, an Iowa City Korean-inspired restaurant, and The Marigold, an Eau Claire mobile café. Daryl’s Dog House, Retro Burger/KC Diner, and Shadrach’s Fiery Furnace Traveling Pizza Company among others will also be onsite. (A full list of vendors can be found below.)

Wisconsin favorites returning to the festival for the second year include Eau Claire-based Tutto Bene Wood Fired Pizza, 9 Degrees, which serves Olson’s homemade ice cream, and Pete’s Pops, which peddles ice pops in flavors like Strawberry Basil, Avocado, and Pineapple Jalapeño.

Six Madison-based food carts, including Curd Girl, and Banzo, and six Twin Cities food trucks which include Foxy Falafel and MN Nice Cream will join the festival this year. (A full list of food trucks and vendors can be found below.)

Minneapolis-based Dogwood Coffee will be at the festival with their vintage Zamboni, serving drinks like Zamboni Cold Brew in refillable ice hockey water bottles, Maple Syrup Infused Cold Brew, Almond Milk Iced Lattes, and Drip Coffee.

Eaux Claires is also enhancing its beverage program with local, national, and international brewers and winemakers. Locally loved Leinenkugel will return to the festival with their Summer Shandy, Original, and Light brews. Eau Claire brewery The Brewing Projekt will serve Gunpowder IPA. St. Paul’s Summit Brewing Company will serve Extra Pale Ale, Saga IPA, and Session IPA. California-based craft favorite Lagunitas will pour their Pilsner and IPA and Danish brewer Mikkeller, one of the highest rated and most sought after brewers in the world, will pour a specially craved pale ale called Eaux Henry! Eaux Sally! The festival will also welcome local winemaker Autumn Harvest Winery and Orchard’s semi-sweet red Fionnrua and semi-sweet white Northern Lights varieties.

VIP offerings for Enhanced Chippewa ticket buyers will be announced in the weeks to come. We hope you are as excited about this as us!
