The **Food Network & Cooking Channel New York City Wine & Food Festival presented by Capital One **returns for its 12th annual edition this Fall, taking over the Big Apple October 10 – 13, 2019. The event is presented by Capital One and it benefits Food Bank For New York City and the No Kid Hungry® campaign with 100% of the Festival’s net proceeds.
This year, the Festival’s signature evening, large-format tasting events move to Hudson River Park’s Pier 97 and include a rich line-up of new and returning themes. 
Altogether, the 80+ events taking place at locations throughout the city include tastings, dinners, brunches, master classes, late-night parties and more; accented by a returning selection of family-friendly offerings to keep fans of all ages engaged throughout the weekend.
Among them, the most awaited sweet treat for the whole family will be delivered on October 13th by Loacker. The famous Italian wafers producer will present ‘Family Ice Cream Fun-dae’ hosted by Duff Goldman.
For the whole afternoon, visitors will enjoy scoop after scoop and endless toppings created by NYC’s most popular ice cream shops. Face painting, interactive kid stations, music and, of course, craft cocktails for ice-cream loving parents complete this sprinkle-filled party perfect for all ages.
And that’s just a taste of the surprises Loacker is preparing…
