The New England Food Festival has evolved into a star-studded, four-hour destination event showcasing the talent of New England’s most renowned chowder, soup and dessert culinary personalities. The food festival was a Plymouth chowder fest fundraiser years ago, held in august. In 2002, Olly deMacedo, director of the Plymouth Thanksgiving Parade & Events, reinvented the Plymouth event. He changed it from a chowder fest to a food festival, added other foods and desserts, moved it to the same day as the parade, and expanded the showcase to include foods and desserts from restaurants in the New England area.
