Get Out and Grill Festival Weekend

This summer and fall, The Edible Garden: Growing and Preparing Good Food brings you locally grown, seasonal food with cooking demonstrations every day, four spectacular kitchen gardens, appearances by celebrity chefs such as Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali, and hands-on activities for kids. You won’t want to miss this year’s celebration, with more chefs and more events than last year.

The Edible Garden kicks off tomorrow with Get Out and Grill, the first of four Festival Weekends.

Don’t miss these highlights June 19–20:

  • Grilling and cooking with celebrity chefs, including Daisy Martinez
  • A Sunday BBQ perfect for Father’s Day, with an appearance by retired Yankee Roy White, booksignings, and more
  • Fun activities for the whole family in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden and Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden
