NYCWFF 2025 Tickets On Sale: Festival Moves to the Seaport for a Star-Studded Culinary Celebration
The Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival presented by Invesco QQQ is back for its 18th year—bigger, bolder, and now set against the dynamic backdrop of NYC’s historic Seaport. Running from October 15–19, 2025, the city’s premier food and drink festival will bring together over 300 culinary luminaries for five days of immersive tastings, celebrity chef dinners, and unforgettable experiences, all anchored at the newly established Invesco QQQ Festival Campus.
This year marks a transformative move for NYCWFF, relocating all signature events within two blocks of each other at the Seaport. From the Grand Tasting and FoodieCon® to the return of Blue Moon Burger Bash, guests can enjoy an effortlessly walkable festival format with the East River skyline as their backdrop. Culinary icon Jean-Georges Vongerichten joins as the 2025 Culinary Host, helping spotlight Pier 17 and the Tin Building with exclusive events alongside fellow stars like Bobby Flay, Padma Lakshmi, Martha Stewart, Rachael Ray, Alice Waters, and José Andrés.
Beyond the fan-favorite tastings and celebrity meet-and-greets, NYCWFF 2025 introduces curated dinners, cookbook launches (including titles by Brie Larson, Keith McNally, and Alice Waters), and sustainability-driven partnerships with the James Beard Foundation and Event Zero Foundation. Whether you're craving steak at Carne Mare or sipping cocktails with Andrew Zimmern, NYCWFF 2025 promises culinary excellence for every appetite.
