The experts of USA Today’s 10 Best contests are putting tastebuds to the test and looking for some of the best food festivals in America. Three events in Upstate New York are in the running.
With tastings and top rated cuisine, their contest for Favorite City Food Festival highlights 20 cities across the United States, including Buffalo and Syracuse.
In Buffalo, experts nominated the Taste of Buffalo as its deliciously curated food truck and restaurant scene. USA Today wrote that visitors will find regional specialties here in spades, from beef on weck to sponge candy, Buffalo wings, and New York state wines. The nomination also mentioned that the annual event raises scholarship money for college-bound students who are committed to studying hospitality and culinary arts.
Before the coronavirus pandemic, the Western New York event was known to draw upward of 450,000 people each year. The Taste of Buffalo website lists it as the largest two-day food festival in the U.S. and this year will be its 40th annual event.

Syracuse is also nominated in this category for their International Taste Festival. There has only been one International Taste Festival so far having debuted in 2021 in the Expo Center at the New York State Fairgrounds. USA Today experts wrote that it’s a great place to sample homegrown favorites as well food from around the globe, all for a reasonable price.
The second International Taste Festival will take place on April 1, 2023. See full schedule of entertainment, 5k/10k race information, and ticket prices on their website. Read More…
