Food Festivals

[jrichman]

I made it to the NYC BBQ Block Party for the first time this year and had a great time. I was wondering, can we get a list going of all the food type festivals in the area. Dates, Locations, Details, etc would be great!

Food Events are listed on the eGullet calendar and on Table Hopping With Rosie--Food Events. Click Here: http://www.njmonthly.com/rosie/fevent.html

Is it true that Festivals are no longer allowed to be discussed on the New Jersey Forums? That they can only be listed in the Calendar?

OK, I read all of it; I don't see anything forbidding discussion of a festival on an Eg Forum; What differentiates the Belmar Seafood Festival from the lengthy Crawfish Festival thread still here on Page 1, and the Greek Festival in Tenafly that was recently discussed? Why was the Belmar discussion ignominiously deleted in its entirety and dozens of other festival discussions allowed to happen on the Forums? Please clarify!

You can discuss the food festivals after the event. To let people know that an event is happening, you can request that it be listed on the eGS calendar. I'm working on making a summary of NJ eGS listed Calendar events in a new thread to be posted soon. Meanwhile, if you want to discuss the Belmar Seafood Festival that occured this past weekend, I suggest you do so on the pre-existing thread, link. ("Deleted in its entirety"? It was two posts long.)

You're right about the Crawfish Fest thread, it probably should have been deleted. But since it is over now, we're trying to figure out what to do with it.

More... re: the Crawfish Fest thread - Yes, it should have come down. We missed it, we're human. You can help by using the report this post feature if you see something that doesn't conform with policy. In the meantime, all talk about outside events are welcome on eG once the event has been completed.

OK, now that we've established that food festivals and the like are to be listed on the eGS Calendar (send me a PM if you have something you'd like to have listed), and further brought to the attention of NJ forum visitors by a thread that I will use as a NJ event index (coming soon), I am locking this thread. Any further policy questions should be addressed via PM. Thank you for your attention and input.
