It was a celebration of food, fun and family last Saturday, August 24 at Palm Drive, Hope Gardens, for the inaugural Grace Food Festival, as patrons stepped out serving up their best festival fits as they readied to indulge in flavourful foods, exciting entertainment and wholesome family fun.
The festival, which was one of many summer events held over the weekend, welcomed over 4,000 patrons, primarily families and friends out and about enjoying all the festivities of the day, and relishing in the entertainment and non-stop activities at the event.
