When we entered the festival, we received a map and guide to help us navigate around the different exhibits that were set up throughout. Topics ranged from a look at ingredients in fresh vs. processed foods to responsible farm practices to how Chipotle makes their guacamole. As you visit each exhibit, you receive a stamp. Visit 4 of the 5 and you receive a coupon for a free burrito, bowl or salad at any of their restaurants. Motivation, wrapped up neatly in a tortilla, if you ask me.

In addition to food and exhibits, there was also a Kids Zone for the kiddies to paint, draw, create t-shirts, eat and play, and two stages set up - one with bands that played throughout the day and the other with local chefs sharing their secrets. Another area that was one of my personal favorites was a local artisan tent that housed deliciousness straight from our city. You better believe we had to sample some all natural frozen goodness.





Oh' and lets not forget to mention (as I know you were all dying to know), mission free burrito was accomplished all. I foresee a free date night in our near future.
