The Foodie Fest returned for Year 2 in April 2026. Founded by WHSL Vice President Amanda Dale-Lopez, the festival celebrates Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month while building a space centered on inclusion, creativity and connection.
The first Foodie Fest in 2025 brought together food vendors, live music, a kids' book drive and a mission. What started as an idea close to a mother's heart became a day that fed both stomachs and souls. Read more about Year 2.
