SALINAS VALLEY FOOD AND WINE FESTIVAL: ANNUAL EVENT TO BE POSTPONED UNTIL 2026

---

Salinas, CA – [April 16, 2025] – The Salinas Valley Food & Wine Festival Board of Directors has announced that there will be a pause in the event. For over a decade, downtown Salinas has hosted this annual event led by a team of hard working and dedicated volunteers. The team has decided to take this summer off and reimagine the event and get ready for a relaunch in 2026.

“We are taking a look at all of the components of this great community event including the location, logistics, format, and volunteers needed to host the event.” Those who have attended in past years have come to love the Salinas Valley Food & Wine Festival,” said Joel Panzer, Event Chair. “This event is a testament to the passion and edication of our festival volunteers, who have worked tirelessly to make this annual event unforgettable. We hope that we can bring the event back in 2026.”
