The Sheffield food festival is set to take place from 23 May to 26 May over the May bank holiday weekend.
The festival aims to celebrate the food, music and culture of Sheffield with free entry over the course of the weekend.
The event is set to have over 60 vendors this year, most of whom are local businesses.
Daniel Perkins, owner of Urban Cuisine, said: “I’ve been to the festival as a customer in the past and there was a wide variety of street food available, so I thought I could add my flair and get the street food season kicked off.”
Sheffield food festival has a wide variety of vendors available for the public to enjoy such as a number of street food stalls, drinks and deserts.
The event will also have a number of artists from Sheffield that are just getting their start organised by Grassroots Sheffield, which is a community driven music project that aims to highlight upcoming artists in Sheffield.
Organisers are hoping that this event will bring together a community of people from all over Sheffield to enjoy the food and music.
Mr Perkins said: “These events are a good way to showcase all different types of food and bring people to the city, the atmosphere on the day is a big draw.”
The event also provides local businesses a way to advertise their products and boost their sales on the weekend of the festival.
Daniel Perkins said that due to the economical climate, especially following Covid-19, events like this are important for businesses because they are a good source of revenue.
With the festival attracting over 50,000 visitors each year, it acts as an important annual event for Sheffield.
Mr Perkins said: “It brings me a lot of joy for people to enjoy the food I make.
“This year, I’m using my loaded flatbread menu from when I started. It covers a lot of bases with its flavours and ingredients.”
The festival will be open from 10am to 7pm on the Saturday and Sunday, then from 10am to 6pm on the Monday.
