Our 2022 expanded festival map includes more downtown restaurants and cafes than ever before! Get a taste of Gainesville at one of our popular downtown restaurants, or visit a festival food booth to sample something new. Visitors can taste authentic Pad-Thai cuisine, sweet and smoky BBQ, hearty Mediterranean pitas, locally-roasted coffee, homemade guacamole, empanadas and more.
This year we are also expanding to include a beer garden for the first time in Downtown Festival history! We've partnered with a favorite local haunt, The Bull to provide a covered outdoor patio with a wide selection of craft beer and wine. Visit our beer garden at 18 SW 1st avenue.
