NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — North Adams plays host to the 8th annual Northern Berkshire Food Festival on Sunday from noon to 4 on Main Street.

The event will feature the cuisine of the top area restaurants along with microbrewed beer and wine tastings, courtesy of Girardi Distributors, West Fine Liquors and Berkshire Brewing Co.; an eclectic mix of live music from Tom Corrigan and the Reformers and drawings for gift certificates from participating eateries. 

The north side of Main Street will be closed to motor vehicle traffic, and large festival tents will be erected to shade vendors and patrons. Food tickets are 50 cents each and will be sold from two kiosks located at the entrances of the festival tents. Each restaurant will prepare up to three entree samples with prices ranging generally from $1 to $4. The day's fare will satisfy the traditional as well as the adventurous palate; there will be many samples from which to choose at the festival.

Participating restaurants will be provided two banquet tables and linens and are free to decorate their area as elaborately as possible and encouraged to promote their establishment to the public. A preliminary list of restaurants which have agreed to appear include Boston Sea Foods Restaurant, Gala Restaurant at the Orchards, Christo's Famous Pizza, Gramercy Bistro, Lickety Split Café, Los Amigos Burritos, Moulton's Pizzeria, Richmond Grill/Isabella's Restaurant, Stone Soup, Tastefully Simple, Taylor's Fine Dining/Freight Yard Pub, The Alley, The Hub Food and Spirits, The Red Herring and Village Pizza.

To add to the celebration, the festival committee has added an art and craft component. A wide variety of arts and crafts including handmade jewelry, leather goods, quilted pocketbooks, wildlife watercolors, and Gigi Pelletier's handmade dog accessories will be featured. The DownStreet Art Project, which is celebrated its 2nd annual season kick off on Thursday, June 25, will also feature free, open galleries throughout the downtown.

The Northern Berkshire Food Festival provides a pleasant environment for visitors and residents to sample a variety of different entree samples, socialize, relax and enjoy the festival atmosphere. Rain or shine, the festival goes on.

And a good show it was. We went ate and then left about an hour later as it got to warm for an old guy like me. The Pizza from both Christos and Village were great, as was a chicken dish served by The Alley on Eagle Street, sadly I could not eat anymore after this as it all looked good. The gentlemen playing and singing were terrific as well, playing music that we all could understand the lyrics too, for that I thank them.
